Fender American Standard Strat Maple HSS BK

Musiciansmall Launches – Fender American Standard Strat Maple H-S-S – BK

Among the new American Standard Stratocaster guitars, the HSS model is definitely the hot rod of the bunch, with more output and warmth from its Tex Mex single-coil pickups and Diamondback humbucking pickup. The S-1 switch is removed to keep it simple, but dont worrywe kept key features such as the hand-rolled fingerboard edges and staggered tuning machines, and we added several new features, including:
A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain.
A new neck treatmenttinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish.
A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl

The American Standard Stratocaster HSS is the same great best-selling, high-output hot-rodded guitar it has always been, and now it’s upgraded with aged plastic parts and full-sounding Fender Custom Shop Fat ’50s neck and middle pickups in addition to the Diamondback™ humbucking bridge pickup. The latest incarnation of the modern workhorse Strat with an added measure of muscle, it’s now more graceful and powerful than ever.
