American Lone Star
The Fender American Lone Star Series, introduced in 1996 and built up to 2000, combined classic Stratocaster style with modern features to create versatile electric guitars suitable for a wide range of playing styles. These guitars typically featured a combination of single-coil and humbucking pickups, offering players a diverse range of tones from classic Stratocaster chime to thicker, high-gain sounds. With a modern "C" neck profile and options for maple or rosewood fingerboards, the Lone Star Series provided a comfortable playing experience tailored to individual preferences. Equipped with a synchronized tremolo bridge and available in a variety of finishes, the Fender American Lone Star Series offered players both timeless style and contemporary performance.

Fender American Lone Star Stratocaster - Frequently Asked Questions
While we don't have any specific build numbers for the USA Lone Star Stratocaster, it's production period was relatively limited to under 4 years. As you can see from our product page, we have had relatively few USA Lone Star Strats through our store compared to other models, such as the regular American Standard.
Fender's Mexican factory has produced a Lone Star Strat under it's Deluxe range for a long period of time. Due to the country of origin, and materials used - there is a wide difference in desirability and resulting market value between the guitars. We differentiate the two models on our site by always referring to the US made guitar as American Lone Star Stratocaster.
