FENDER SAYS
Our Stratocaster HSS guitar features the heavy tone of a high-output humbucking pickup in the bridge position, with classic single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions. The Stratocaster HSS features a ‘70s big headstock, a slim fast-action neck profile and 22 frets for enhanced playability.
