FENDER SAYS
Our time machine series classic HBS-1 Stratocaster is a customized team-built model boasting a great combination of vintage and modern design elements.
Two-piece lightweight premium ash body, '57 soft V-shaped one-piece maple neck with 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, a seymour duncan SH-4 humbucking bridge pickup, five-way switching and S-1 switch are just a few of the features. The guitar comes in a nos finish - as if it had been discovered in a warehouse after many years during which it was never played; or our relic finish - showing years of natural wear and tear-nicks, scratches, worn finish and aged parts. Looks, feels and plays like it has take the punishment of many long nightclub hours.
