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.

Swiss Army Knife of Guitars

by Burke-CLT from Charlotte, NC

After four months of playing this high quality instrument, finally ready to tell you its weakness: Nothing.

Throw everything -- and I mean everything -- from jazz to R&B to funk to blue... read more [+]s to Queen to Maiden to Megadeth -- at it and this guitar will not let you down. Obviously it is more suited to the broad middle of those areas, not the extremes, but you are not going to embarrass yourself with anything remotely blues/rock. Thank the S-1 switching system for that -- you can (and should) read up on the tech specs, but the bottomline is it just works. Together with the trusty 5-way switch you get access to all the subtle colors of tone anyone paying $1500 for a guitar SHOULD be able to hear. Yet these "complex" electronics have performed flawlessly with heavy use. The same for the tuning, nut, and bridge hardware -- rock solid, especially after swapping out the somewhat brittle sounding stock Fender Bullets for Ernie Ball 10s. Oh, and looks -- pics do not do the creamy pearled finish credit, and the simple, clean maple neck just sets it off while providing that hard bite.

The ONE thing that docks it a half-star is the RELATIVE weakness of the Atomic Humbucker. For 90% of rock work its balanced crank does the job and its compatibility with the N3s is great. But. A higher output pup that would be cut BACK to Atomic levels during normal use and would go to full on "11" with the dump button -- another nifty S-1 feature on the HSS model -- would bring even more options within reach, especially on solos. Might have to make that mod some day.

In other words, maybe a 4" blade instead of 3.5" one. close [-]
