Strat

Fender, for short

Strat is the informal name for the Fender Stratocaster, one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made.

Introduced in 1954, the Strat's distinctive double-cutaway body and three-pickup configuration have made it a staple of rock, blues, and pop music: Hendrix played a Strat, I'm saving up for a vintage Strat. (Lowercase strat means strategy.)
