For many guitarists, the American Fender Stratocaster is the ultimate guitar. Its recognizable sound and shape has made it a music industry icon for decades. Guitarists looking for American quality at a competitive price need look no further now that Fender has introduced the American Special Stratocaster. This Strat has outfitted this traditional style with a few additions, like the Greasebucket tone circuit, a broad string nut and a high-gloss urethane finish, for a modern sound and performance. The result is a guitar that looks, feels and sounds fantastic. This Sonic Blue version with its mint green pickguard and rosewood fingerboard is a real eye-catcher!

American Special Stratocaster: Texas Special and Greasebucket tone circuit

To get that beloved Strat sound, the Fender American Special Stratocaster has been equipped with no less than three Fender Custom Shop Texas Special elements. The Alnico 5 single-coil pickups are perfect for that famous Texas blues sound, characterized by its sharp mids, crystal clear trebles and tight basses. These single coils are overwound for a little extra output, and resulting in an even richer sound. Another clever addition is the Greasebucket tone circuit, which allows you to filter the high frequencies out of your tone without losing gain. In short, this American Strat embodies the versatile character you can expect from Fender.

Fender American Special guitars and bass guitars

Not too long ago, a demand for more affordable American-made Fender models arose. So, in 2010, Fender introduced their American Special series, which comes very close to the professional, popular American Standard series. They started out with the Special Telecaster and Stratocaster, and quickly followed up with the Special Jazz and Precision Bass. All these models offer a traditional look with all the perks of modern technology, and are equipped with specially-designed hardware and pickups. Finally, Fender has made the quality of a real American Fender affordable for musicians on a budget.
