The HSS Strat for a New Generation!

If you're looking for a Strat® with tons of tone that's fun to play, you're looking for an American Deluxe Strat HSS! This gorgeous guitar takes the original FENDER® design to a whole new level. Now, there's no need to mod your guitar or turn to pricey custom shop options just to get the configuration you want. You asked for a compound-radius neck, Noiseless™ pickups, and more tone options — Fender listened, and Sweetwater delivers. When you pick up an American Deluxe Strat HSS, you get more than just a beautiful instrument, you get a precision axe that's consistent enough for the stage and versatile enough for the studio.



A 9.5"-14" compound-radius maple neck lets you form chords easily on the steeper curve of the American Deluxe Strat HSS's lower frets. The flatter upper frets are perfect for shredding or soloing, especially if you bend notes. Add to that a beveled neck heel and a lightweight custom-contoured alder body, and you've got an axe that will let you play all night without taking out your back. Tired of those noisy single-coil pickups but unwilling to give up their warm tone and responsive bite? The American Deluxe Strat HSS's N3 Noiseless pickups give you the sound of a classic single-coil, without the noise.

The American Deluxe Strat HSS also comes equipped with an Atomic Humbucker™ at the bridge, for the full sonic range you expect from an HSS configuration. This fat-sounding humbucker gives you an incredibly beefy tone loaded with harmonics. In addition to a classic 5-way switch, the American Deluxe Strat HSS is also armed with a newly designed S-1 switch. This all-new "passing-lane" configuration cuts out the tone knob and instantly routs your output straight to the bridge, giving you a super-hot tone with massive harmonics — perfect for kicking it into overdrive and launching into solos! And to top it all off, this custom-quality guitar comes with a molded SKB case and strap locks, at an off-the-shelf price.

Fender American Deluxe HSS Stratocaster

Music Background: 20 plus years guitar, non professional
I've had my new Stratocaster for six weeks now, I can say it follows in the quality that I have come to expect from Fender. This new American Deluxe is the model with a humbucker in the bridge positio... read more [+]n and single coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. I have had an American Deluxe Stratocaster with the 3 single coil pickups for two years and it has become my favorite guitar. When Sweetwater announced a $250 price cut on an already fair priced American Deluxe, I could not resist buying another, of course with the different pickup configuration. The S1 switch incorporated into the volume knob really adds to an already nice selection of tones, tones, I might add that are truely useful. The quality that Fender builds into their product cannot be understated. The maple fretboard is beautifuly finished and feels wonderful. All the surfaces of the guitar are flawless. These American Deluxe Stratocasters are a joy to play, they are well built, beautiful and have a diverse tonal range. You will not regret purchasing one. close [-]

For being my first Stratocaster I must say I am not disappointed. I own the 3 Tone Sunburst Maple fretboard model and I love it!

The Passing Lane switch is fun too, it actually made me jump the first time I turned it on its really loud thanks to that Atomic Humbucker. I've messed around with a couple of strats before and these N3 noiseless pickups in the neck and middle position are so quiet you'd think you weren't plugged in. The body is really light too and the compound radius is great for bending I honestly haven't played other strats with such ease. It stays in tune very well thanks to the LSR Roller Nut. If you want a quick string change you got it with the tuning machines on the headstock. All around great guitar! close [-]
