Electric Guitar Review

If you’ve been looking for a true Fender Stratocaster that packs a little more power in its pickups than a standard Strat then you’re in luck.

Fender’s American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS sports all of the features that make its sibling––the ever popular American Deluxe Stratocaster––so incredibly versatile, but with a more muscular tone, owing to the Fender DH-1 humbucker pickup that’s been added at the bridge position.

A pair of Samarium Cobalt Noiseless singlecoils are wound-up chilipepper-hot to help balance out the humbucker, and the guitar also sports Fender’s cool S-1 switching system––adding a seemingly endless array of tonal varieties to what’s already one of the most versatile guitars on the market.

An LSR Roller Nut, not to mention a nice set of Fender/Schaller’s druel-inducing locking machine heads round out the package.

The American American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Features–

• Alder Body
• Maple Neck
• Rosewood Fingerboard With 22 Medium Jumbo Frets
• 25.5-inch Scale Length
• Fender DH-1 Humbucker Pickup
• Dual “Hot” Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Strat Pickups

• 5-Position Pickup Switch and 2-Position Push/Push S-1

If you’re looking for a truly versatile guitar, and you don’t want to stray away from Fender (who could blame you,) you might want to give the American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS a test drive – with S1-Switching and a fat humbucker onboard you’re bound to find a sound for every occasion.
