Product Description

Fat, hard-rockin’ sound and elegant Fender style unite in the Deluxe Strat HSS, a versatile tone machine with power to spare. The rich, warm humbucking bridge pickup adds a touch of thickness to the instrument’s voice, while special electronics ensure traditional Strat tone is close at hand; ready to go at a moment’s notice.

A time-tested performer on stage and in the studio, this graceful performer with smooth, comfortable playing feel will easily handle any sonic needs that arise. Two noise-free, highly articulate Vintage Noiseless pickups inhabit the neck and middle positions, cranking out traditional, crisp Strat tones.

The Twin Head Vintage humbucking pickup in the bridge position has moderate output, warm tone and even string response, as well as including a thick aluminum base plate to reduce magnetic interference. For traditional Strat tones, simply tap the S-1switch atop the volume knob to select the rear coil of the bridge pickup—voila, instant classic Strat sound.

Enjoy smoother travel when using the tremolo bridge, thanks to the modern two-point synchronized design, which includes bent steel saddles for classic aesthetics. A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck. The flatter 12”-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out.

Locking short-post tuning machines provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes. Sporting authentic Fender style and versatile sound, the Deluxe Strat HSS is the ideal instrument for players who need a variety of tones for the stage or the studio. Includes gig big.

Smoothest axe I've ever played. Hands down. Like butter. Neck feels perfect, sound is top notch, the noiseless pickups carry remarkable tone- plays better than my friend's American Deluxe and the sound is honestly comparable. Blizzard Pearl finish and 70s headstock definitely an aesthetic plus, love the extended radius fingerboard- truly a "deluxe" in terms of value. I enthusiastically recommend this guitar to anyone with two hands.

.I've played out with this a few times now and it gets the job done. Nothing to write home about.

.My first Strat! This is the sporty companion to my ES-335, and it's a joy to play. I like the HSS setup; the pickups are crisp and lively in all five switch positions, and the action of the maple fretboard is light and easy on these 65-year-old hands. I can finally do a 1-1/2 fret bend without contortions. Like any good guitar, it opens up whole new possibilities. I mostly play blues and classic rock, and this Strat fits both beautifully in both feel and tone. Makes me wonder why I waited.

.I am primarily a bass player but I have been wanting a better guitar. After talking to some excellent guitar players that I have performed with in the past, this is the guitar that was reccomended to me. This is a great guitar. After it came in, I took it to my trusty guitar luthier. I had him do a basic set up and add a bone nut to it. That made it sound even more epic. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase.
