Classic Looks and Modern Performance

Enjoy classic aesthetics and modern performance with the Fender Deluxe Strat HSS solidbody electric guitar. This Stratocaster's neck and middle positions are loaded with noise-free, highly articulate Vintage Noiseless single-coil pickups, while a beefy Twin Head Vintage humbucker inhabits the bridge position — S-1 switching unlocks classic Strat chime. A Modern C-shaped neck with a flat 12"-radius fingerboard provides enough comfortable playability for lightning fast leads. The Fender Deluxe Strat HSS solidbody electric guitar is a versatile tone machine.

Fender Stratocaster: the look and sound of rock 'n' roll

The Fender Stratocaster has helped shape the sound of rock 'n' roll for the past 60 years, from psychedelia and surf rock to punk rock and metal. The Deluxe Strat HSS carries on that tradition today with the classic build players love — a comfortable, lightweight alder body and fast maple neck for superior tone and playability — with over a dozen new innovations to continue to inspire great music for the next generation.

Two noiseless single-coil pickups plus a Twin Head Vintage humbucker

Sweetwater Fender fanatics are impressed with the arsenal of tones found in this Strat. Noiseless single-coil pickups give the Deluxe Strat HSS the classic Stratocaster sound without the hum and buzz. And for a gutsier tone, the onboard Twin Head Vintage bridge humbucker delivers moderate output, warmth, and even string response. Harness traditional Stratocaster chime with the Deluxe Strat HSS's S-1 switch. Tapping this switch selects the bridge pickup's rear coil, yielding instant single-coil tones.

Fender's Deluxe Series delivers maximum bang for your buck

The unique Deluxe Strat HSS is a great example of Fender's Deluxe Series, which brings you classic Fender guitars with deluxe electronics and modern features at a great price. Deluxe Series guitars and basses feature electronics combinations you don't normally find, like unique switching options or hot-rodded pickup combinations, plus modern playability with Fender's Modern "C" neck profile. To seal the deal, you also get a healthy dose of stylish appointments on the Deluxe Strat HSS, such as nickel/chrome hardware, a 3-ply mint green pickguard, and aged white pickup covers, control knobs, and switch tip.

Fender Deluxe Strat HSS Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Fender noiseless single-coil pickups in neck and middle positions
  • Twin Head Vintage bridge humbucker delivers vintage-styled beefiness
  • S-1 switching provides traditional Stratocaster chime
  • Alder body for light weight and a punchy, balanced sound
  • Modern C-shaped neck offers modern playability
  • Pau ferro fretboard provides a sweet tone and quick response
  • 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge adds texture to chords and leads
