Bold sparkle finish with a powerful, versatile HSS pickup combo.
The Fender Custom Shop SuperNova Stratocaster HSS Heavy Relic Floyd Rose is a meticulously crafted solidbody electric guitar designed to inspire. It features a custom Heavy Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the appearance of years of hard-earned wear and tear. The alder body and 3A roasted flame maple neck provide a rigid foundation for the HSS pickup configuration, which includes two vintage-style single-coil Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions and a powerful humbucker in the bridge. This potent tonal combination produces everything from bell-like cleans to roaring overdrive.
Roasted Flame Maple Neck
The SuperNova Strat's 3A roasted flame maple neck provides rigidity and resonance. The roasting process strengthens the wood, reducing the chance of warping over time. A comfortable '60s oval C-shaped profile gives you a handful of fast, playable wood. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and articulation. White dot inlays provide position markers that keep you oriented without distracting from the guitar's aesthetic.
Premium Pickups and Switching
The SuperNova Strat's pickups provide a range of tones suited for any genre. The single-coil Strat pickups offer the articulate, sparkling tone that defined decades of music. The bridge humbucker adds thickness and grit for heavier styles. A 5-way pickup selector switch gives you access to each pickup individually as well as combinations in-between. Roll back the volume or tone knobs to tap into even more tonal variations.
Floyd Rose Tremolo
The Floyd Rose tremolo bridge allows for radical pitch-bending effects while keeping the SuperNova Strat in tune. This double-locking system clamps the strings at the nut and bridge, increasing string tension for stability under heavy use. Bend up or down, tap and flutter to your heart's content. The Floyd Rose, combined with the humbucker and single-coil pickups, makes this an incredibly expressive instrument.
