From Our Research Team:

A Vision of Strat Perfection!

The Fender Stratocaster is an iconic guitar, and no one can argue with that. It also holds true that any full-blown Strat lover has a wish list of tweaks, modifications, and subtle adjustments to turn an already-incredible Strat into a vision of pure Strat perfection. Recently, the guitar-loving crew at Sweetwater got together with the Fender Custom Shop with our own wish list of sorts. With input from you, our customers, and all of the toneheads here, we went ahead and put a few different twists on the Stratocaster we all know and love to create a few of our very own versions. The Stratocaster Pro Special is an example of just that. We know you'll love it as much as we do.



So, what makes the Stratocaster Pro Special such a special version of the Strat? Well, let's walk through our subtle revisions so you can get the whole picture. First of all, we gave it the '60s-style headstock and logo. It's a simple thing, really, but we think it adds a lot of vibe. Also in the land of aesthetics, we gave our Stratocaster Pro Special a Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish, adored by vintage guitar aficionados.

What else? In the name of tone, this Stratocaster Pro Special sports N3 noiseless pickups, so you get that signature Strat voice without the hum. Other touches include separate Neck and Bridge tone controls. And we also upped the neck to a gorgeous "AA" flame maple that you'll appreciate wrapping your Strat-loving hand around.

Fender Custom Pro Special

by Doug from Knoxville, TN
February 20, 2013
Music Background: Hobbyist, played for 20 years, home recording for 3 years.
If you've been thinking about pulling the trigger on this purchase do yourself a favor and buy it now before someone else does. I own this exact same guitar but with the rosewood fretboard. Only three... read more [+] of them were made according to my tech so you're getting an extremely limited edition at a great price. Up until now I've strictly owned and played Gibson Les Pauls and an Epiphone Sheraton and I've been very loyal to them. However, after buying this guitar I have to say that the quality and dependability are way above that of my beloved Gibsons. I still love my Gibsons, but I am a string bender and this Fender Strat never....I mean never....goes out of tune no matter how much abuse I give it. The Noiseless pickups are great too, especially for recording directly into my iPad. You can get great tonal variety with all the different PUP settings. Knowing this baby was hand crafted in the Fender Custom Shop just adds to my love. I couldn't be happier with this guitar. It is 100%, absolutely perfect. It is now my favorite and I wish I had given Fender Custom Shop a chance years ago. close [-]

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
