This is a Fender American Series Double Fat Stratocaster (also officially marketed during this era as the American Stratocaster HH), finished in a classic 3-Color Sunburst.
What makes this specific guitar remarkable is its condition: it appears to be a "New Old Stock" (NOS) time capsule. It still has the original protective plastic film on the pickguard, the factory American flag and wiring schematic stickers, the original hang tags on the tuners, and the molded hardshell case fully loaded with the original "case candy" (manuals, strap, cable, etc.).
The Era: Fender introduced the "American Series" in 2000 as an update to the American Standard line, and it ran until late 2007. The American flag sticker on the pickguard was a hallmark of Fender's factory shipping presentation during this period.
Body and Finish: It features a solid Alder body in a 3-Color Sunburst, paired with a 3-ply black pickguard that gives it an aggressive, modern look.
Neck and Fretboard: It utilizes a modern "C" shape maple neck paired with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. It also features rolled fingerboard edges—a premium upgrade introduced with the American Series to make the neck feel "broken in" right out of the box.
Hardware: It is equipped with a 2-point synchronized tremolo with stainless steel block saddles. At the headstock, it uses staggered tuning machines, which eliminates the need for a second string tree and improves tuning stability.
The defining feature of this guitar is the dual humbucker (HH) configuration, replacing the traditional three single coils.
The Pickups: These models typically left the factory equipped with a premium set of Seymour Duncan pickups—a '59 model in the neck for warm, vintage-voiced rhythm tones, and a slightly hotter Pearly Gates Plus in the bridge for biting lead tones.
The Switching: The purple sticker on the pickguard diagrams the clever 5-way "Super Switch" wiring. Rather than a simple 3-way toggle, this switch allows you to coil-split the humbuckers. Positions 2 and 4 isolate specific inner and outer single coils, allowing you to still achieve that classic, quacky, glassy Stratocaster sound when you aren't using the full, heavy humbuckers.
Fender's American Series instruments are renowned as incredibly reliable, professional-grade workhorses. Because this HH configuration is highly versatile, it remains very popular.
Used Value (Standard Condition): A typical American Series HH Stratocaster from the early 2000s in standard used condition generally sells for between $900 and $1,100.
Collector/Mint Value: Because your instrument is in absolute mint, unplayed condition with all the original tags, protective plastics, and case candy, it commands a significant premium for collectors. In this time-capsule state, the market value is solidly between $1,300 and $1,600.
