From Our Research Team:

Huge bang for the buck!

American-made quality at an amazing price! Fender's American Special Stratocaster® HSS gives you many of the most popular features from past Strat® models at a price that's nearly unheard of for a made-in-America FENDER®. It all starts with an alder body for classic Strat sparkle, all wrapped up in a great looking gloss urethane finish. The FENDER® trademark maple neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard for a little added warmth, and jumbo frets make it easy to bend with passion with the American Special Stratocaster HSS!





Be sure to cut through the mix, thanks to the powerful combination of Fender's popular Atomic Humbucker™ at the bridge and Texas Special™ single coils at the neck and middle positions. Used together in any one of the five possible positions, the pickups give you classic Fender tones with the added intensity you can only get from a hot Humbucker™. A "Greasebucket" tone circuit and vintage-style tremolo round out the features on this beauty. If you're looking for an American-made Strat with unbeatable bang for the buck, it's the American Special Stratocaster HSS!

For the price of this guitar you can not go wrong! Each pickup has its own unique sound that will cut through any mix for recording,and sounds great through all types of amps! Ive put it through cheap... read more [+] practice amps and expensive Marshalls and this still shines either way. It looks amazing (to me) and its the only American made stratocaster that you can get this cheap and it still has that classick fender sound and build! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
