Fender Musical Instruments

Tone. Tradition. Innovation. Fender's new American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS is for guitarists who demand more from their axes. A compound radius fretboard allows exhilaratingly effortless string bending anywhere along the neck and two new, N3 noiseless pickups supercharge your sound with improved Stratocaster tones, while the DH-1 humbucking bridge pickup is right there when you need to take everything up to 11, all with no hum.

Reconfigured S-1 switching offers even more knockout tonal options. The all-new passing lane switch instantly routes your signal from any pickup position to the bridge position with the tone circuit bypassed, blasting overtones and volume straight into the Strat-osphere. Other features include staggered, locking tuners, LSR roller nut, two-point, synchronized, American Deluxe tremolo bridge with pop-in arm and beveled neck heel.
