Get classic Strat sound with modern updates.
Fender is proud to offer the Fender Player Series Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar. This inspiring instrument combines the classic Stratocaster shape and sound with modern upgrades, providing a versatile tone for any genre. The sleek alder body hosts a trio of Player Series Alnico pickups: two single-coils in the neck and middle position provide the crisp, sparkling tones the Strat is known for, while a humbucker in the bridge delivers higher gain for rock and metal. A fast-playing maple neck with a modern C profile and 22 medium-jumbo frets ensures a smooth playing experience.
Versatile Tonal Options
With its combination of single-coil and humbucker pickups, the Player Series Strat HSS provides a range of tones suitable for any style. The single-coil neck and middle pickups produce the bright, articulate sound that made the Strat famous. In contrast, the bridge humbucker adds warmth and punch, ideal for higher-gain styles. This tonal flexibility makes the Strat HSS an excellent choice for guitarists who play a variety of musical genres.
Fast, Comfortable Maple Neck
The Player Series Strat HSS features a maple neck with a smooth satin finish and modern C profile, providing comfort and speed. 22 medium-jumbo frets allow for expressive note-bending and vibrato. A 9.5" fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets provide an ideal playing surface for chords and single-note solos alike. This fast, versatile neck, combined with the contoured alder body, creates an instrument built for long playing sessions and all-night gigs.
Like all Fender Player Series guitars, the Strat HSS is a reliable, roadworthy instrument designed for working musicians. A durable gloss polyester finish protects the alder body, while chrome hardware provides an elegant accent. Designed and built for performance, the Strat HSS delivers authentic Fender tone and feel at an affordable price. For guitarists seeking a versatile solid body electric, the Player Series Stratocaster HSS is an excellent choice.
