American-made quality at an unbeatable price
Fender's American Special series exists to do one thing - give you access to genuine US-made Fenders at unbeatable prices. The American Special Stratocaster HSS gives you a great selection of cool Strat features - including a supremely playable maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets, an Atomic Humbucker and two Texas Special single-coils, Fender's innovative Greasebucket tone control, a vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo, and a large '70s-style headstock. Together, it's quite a potent music-delivery system. And it's made right here in the USA, in Fender's state-of-the-art Corona, California factory.

This Strat's a tone beast
The American Special Strat HSS sports the classic HSS ("Fat Strat") pickup configuration. For decades before Fender actually got the news and made one, players were modding their Stratocasters by replacing the bridge single-coil with a hot Humbucker™. This is a real ear-opener. You get the expected chime-like "spank 'n' sparkle" from the Texas Special single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, while a dangerous Fender Atomic humbucker sits at the bridge, waiting to be unleashed. Armed with the American Special Strat HSS, no solos is beyond your reach. If you've never experienced a humbucker-loaded Strat before, be prepared the first time you jam the blade all the way down. It's like kicking in rocket boosters.

Greasebucket tone control rolls off highs without adding bass
Fender has fitted their American Special Stratocaster HSS with their Greasebucket tone control, which rolls off highs without adding bass or affecting your volume. This is seriously cool, because it gives you explicit control over your tone onstage without your having to compensate for volume loss - making the American Special Strat HSS a serious tone machine.
