Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Sienna Burst RW

General

The Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS, with its beautiful Sienna Sunburst finish and rosewood fretboard, is one of the many professional electric guitar models that Bax-shop has to offer. This Stratocaster was made in America, assuring you of a high-quality instrument. Additionally, its rosewood fretboard provides it with a slightly darker, mid-rich sound than its maple counterpart, and the American Standard Strat HSS is equipped with three pickups: one Humbucker and two single coils (hence the moniker HSS). The guitar comes with a highly durable case, a polishing cloth, a guitar cable and a guitar strap.

The versatile tonal possibilities of the Strat HSS

The two single-coil pickups on the American Strat are special Custom Shop Fat '50s that live up to their name by producing a clear single-coil sound with a fat touch. On top of that, these pickups provide slightly more bass and milder mids in comparison with their classic predecessors. The middle pickup is reverse wound for hum-free mid positions (2 and 4) of the pickup switch. In the bridge position, this Fender guitar is equipped with a full-sounding Diamondback Humbucker that makes this Stratocaster excellently suited for rougher types of music such as hard rock and metal. The HSS versions are also called Fat Strats. Lastly, this guitar's slightly weathered-looking synthetic components are a hint to its past.

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 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.
