Among the new American Standard Stratocaster guitars, the HSS model is definitely the hot rod of the bunch, with more output and warmth from its Tex Mex™ single-coil pickups and Diamondback™ humbucking pickup. The S-1 switch is removed to keep it simple, but don’t worry—we kept key features such as the hand-rolled fingerboard edges and staggered tuning machines, and we added several new features, including:
A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain.
A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish.
A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl.
