The 205 Classic Strat keeps the soul of a great Leo Fender-designed pre-CBS Strat but adds muscle and output. Using AlNiCo V magnets and a recipe with medium winds, it will push your amp sooner, thickening the lows and bringing the mids forward without losing snap and clarity. Individual notes will feel bigger, resulting in leads that jump out of a mix. The in-between positions feel gritty and intentional and and the bridge cuts without ice-pick harshness.

Perfect for:

• Alternative rock, garage rock, texas blues
• Edge-of-breakup to crunch
• players who want more push without going modern

Feel: Strong attack, punchy, muscular

Output: Medium-hot

Voice: Thick lows, forward mids, controlled highs
