Austin Stratocaster Style AST100RD Model

The Austin Stratocaster Style AST100RD Model is proof that in this day and age, quality guitar construction has moved far beyond the early days of Asian production. Capturing the classic sounds and driving, forceful expression of the electric guitar era has been a very important focus for Austin Guitars, next to the essence to keep the instrument affordable. Merging craftmanship with ideal material choices and electronic innovation, has made it possible to produce these beautiful guitars affordably. You don’t have to break the bank anymore to get going on a great sounding guitar. 

We believe, for both aspiring players and performing artists, Austin Guitars has managed to capture those familiar tones and more.
No shape offers more playing versatility than a double cutaway. The AST100 Series guitars are built to deliver the full palette of single coil tones for rock, country or blues. Light weight and with excellent construction, the AST100 features 3 traditional single coil pick ups with a 5 position selector switch, tone and volume controls, and a maple neck with techwood fingerboard that your hands will glide over.

The classic rock and blues guitar choices were (and still are) the Les Paul models and the Telecaster and Stratocaster models If you are more of a Les Paul type player, check Austin Guitars answer here.
