Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Bordeaux Metallic RW

Descrizione

The Fender American Standard HSS Stratocaster now also comes in chic Bordeaux Metallic. It features a rosewood fretboard for a sound that is known for being rich in trebles. As a modern guitarist, you want to be able to choose from a wide range of sounds. Fender have taken notice and equipped this guitar with a Diamondback humbucker. This double-coil pickup in the bridge position produces a high output that makes this guitar suitable for rougher types of music. Naturally, those who love the traditional Fender sound needn't feel like they've been left behind as this guitar is equipped with 2 Custom Shop Fat '50s single coils in the middle and neck position. This HSS Strat is one of the most versatile guitars to ever leave the Fender factory. It includes a guitar strap, a cable, a polishing cloth and, of course, a luxury case.

Limitless tonal variation

Of course the HSS Stratocaster has plenty to offer for those who are fans of vintage Fenders. Its playing comfort is excellent as usual and so are its looks. Soundwise, however, much has changed. The traditional pickups have been exchanged for Custom Shop Fat '50s that are a true asset to the tonal balance of this guitar as they produce a full and clear sound. Would you like to take it up a notch? Meet the Diamondback humbucker in the bridge position that produces enough output to turn your Stratocaster into a true thrasher. This pickup can also be combined with the single-coil in the mid position for a Fender Quack like you have never heard before. There is no tonal limit for this Fender American Standard HSS Stratocaster.

2012 American Standard Stratocaster: modern improvements

The Strat has been virtually unaltered since its introduction in 1954, but Fender has kept it up-to-date, providing the neck of the 2012 American Standard Stratocaster with 22 medium jumbo frets, a two-way Truss Rod and a flatter 9.5-inch fretboard radius. The vintage-style tremolo bridge has also been modernised with just two mounting points so that the guitar retains its tuning better. New friction-free steel bridge saddles and a solid steel block add more tone and sustain, and the staggered machine heads allow for optimal pressure on the top saddle without the need for a second string guide, so there is less friction and a more stable tuning.
