American Standard Strat HSS/Maple Neck/BLK

SKU: 0110102706 Fender 0110102706 American Standard Strat Guitar Black - Maple Fretboard Among the new American Standard Stratocaster guitars, the HSS model is definitely the hot rod of the bunch, with more output and warmth from its Tex Mex? single-coil pickups and Diamondback? humbucking pickup. The S-1 switch is removed to keep it simple, but don?t worry?we kept key features such as the hand-rolled fingerboard edges and staggered tuning machines, and we added several new features, including: A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain. A new neck treatment?tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish. A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance. A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.

Fender American Strat Hss Standard Stratocaster Guitar Black Maple

The Fender American Standard Series Stratocaster HSS is a perfect electric guitar for players who like big, fat humbucker tone. Redesigned with improvements that include the modern C-shaped maple neck with glossed neck front and satin polyurethane finish on back for smooth playability. Bent steel Fender saddles with classic look and great tone. String spacing narrowed for modern playability, saddle height screws re-sized to reduce rough feel, and string slot on saddle elongated to reduce string friction or breakage. Custom staggered tuning machines eliminate the need for one of the string trees. Staggered pole pieces in the pickups provide balanced output across all strings, and specifically improves the G-string's tone. Two-point trem, rosewood or maple fretboard, and genuine Fender American craftsmanship add up to a Fat Strat style guitar that is a dream come true.
