General
Are you on the lookout for a real American Fender that doesn't break the bank? If so, then you should take a look at one of the guitars from the American Special series. The black HSS Stratocaster has a traditional double cutaway body and large '70s-style headstock and logo. It offers the classic Fender look and sound with additional modern features such as a quick, narrow neck with 22 jumbo frets, a humbucker pickup in bridge position and a special Greasebucket tone circuit. This set includes a deluxe gig bag and a polishing cloth for wiping away greasy fingerprints.
Cut from the right cloth
The Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS’s body is made of solid alder. Alder is a popular type of wood because of its low weight, balanced tone and excellent resonance - perfect for various types of music but mostly loved by rock and blues guitarists. The bolted-on maple neck has a 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The jumbo frets prevent your fingers from touching the fretboard and make it easier and smoother to perform string bends. This Strat also has a vintage-style tremolo and a set of high-quality self-lubricating tuners.
HSS pickup configuration and Greasebucket tone circuit
The letters HSS in the model's name stand for the guitar's single humbucker and two single-coil pickups. The middle and neck pickups are Texas Special single-coils. Thanks to their overwound Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups produce that coveted Texas Blues sound, with its tight bass notes, sparkling mids and crystal clear trebles. The bridge pickup is an Alnico 5 Fender Atomic humbucker, and it's excellently suited for rougher music styles such as rock and metal. The Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS has a master volume control, as well as two tone controls that filter out the trebles without adding extra bass thanks to the Greasebucket circuit.

Volgens mij zijn ze veelste te duur...........
En als je zoals nu een Demo filmpje ziet draaien, welke amp en stompbox hoor je dan?
Dus tel je bij die Fender 1, 2, 3 K euro of 5xzoveel in Shekels nog eens het zelfde bedrag aan installatie er bij... Als je nu nog je brood er mee moet verdienen, een regelrechte aanslag op je banksaldo....
Al speeltie nog zo fijn, eer je dat bedrag eruit hebt met gigs....
Als alternatief kan je ook een G&L kopen dezelfde kwaliteit, stukken goedkoper.
Wil je het nog goedkoper hebben, dan moet een Jack & Danny kopen...
