Fender Stratocaster AMERICAN STRATOCASTER HSS Guitar Review :: Fender Electric Guitars Reviews
a big, fat humbucker tone for long-sustain lead work, clarity and a bite of Tex-Mex single coils
The Fender American Strat HSS guitar features three incredible-sounding Fender pickups—a Diamondback humbucker and two custom-staggered Tex-Mex single-coils. Available with a maple or rosewood fingerboard.
The Fender American Series Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar is perfect for the player who likes a big, fat humbucker tone for long-sustain lead work, but also craves the clarity and bite of Tex-Mex single coils. S-1 switching gives you coil tapping on the Diamondback humbucker and 8 pickup configuration options. Solid alder or ash body (ash for see-through finishes), modern C-shaped maple neck with satin polyurethane finish, 2-point trem, rosewood or maple fretboard, and genuine American craftsmanship add up to a dream come true.
