Fender American Deluxe Strat HSS (Olympic Pearl, Maple) Overview
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.Call GAK now for product info, advice and the Best Prices - 01273 665400
