Heavy, hard rock tone and sleek Fender style come together in the Deluxe Strat HSS, a versatile tone machine with power to spare. The rich, warm humbucker pickup adds a touch of thickness to the instrument's voice, while the special electronics ensure traditional Strat sound at your fingertips, ready to go in the blink of an eye. An instrument that has proven itself on stage and in the studio, this soft-touch and comfortable guitar will easily meet any sound needs that arise.
Two highly articulated Vintage Noiseless pickups inhabit the neck and middle, noiselessly, and produce crisp, traditional Strat tones. The Twin Head Vintage humbucking pickups in the bridge position have moderate output, a warm tone and smooth string response, plus a thick aluminum baseplate to reduce magnetic interference. For traditional Strat tones, simply press the S-1 button at the top of the volume knob to select the rear coil of the bridge pickup - voilà, instant classic Strat sound. Enjoy smooth movement when using the tremolo bridge, thanks to its modern two-point synchronized design, which features curved steel saddles for a classic aesthetic. A contoured heel at the neck joint and an asymmetrical 4-bolt neck plate facilitate comfortable access to the highest registers. The flat 12" radius fingerboard allows you to play fast leads and perform deep bends without getting tired. The locking tuners ensure better tuning stability as well as faster string changes.
Classic aesthetic touches include nickel/chrome hardware and a tri-ply mint green pickguard, as well as distressed white pickup covers, control knobs and switch tip. Featuring authentic Fender styling and versatile sound, the Deluxe Strat HSS is the ideal instrument for musicians who need a variety of tones for the stage or studio.
