Fender Limited Edition Standard Blackout Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar in Satin Black

The Fender Limited Edition Standard Blackout Stratocaster HSS takes the classic Strat formula and dresses it in a sleek, all-black aesthetic. With a satin black finish, matching headstock and blacked-out hardware, it delivers a bold, modern look while retaining the feel and playability that has made the Stratocaster a stage staple for decades.

Under the stealthy exterior you will find a versatile HSS pickup configuration, a comfortable Modern C maple neck and a smooth two-point synchronised tremolo system. Whether you are playing high-gain rock, tight rhythm parts or shimmering cleans, this Strat is built to handle it all with ease, making it an ideal workhorse for players who want both style and substance.

The satin urethane finish on the body and neck keeps everything feeling fast and smooth, resisting stickiness under hot stage lights and long rehearsals. Combined with a 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, the Blackout Stratocaster encourages confident bends, fluid lead lines and accurate chord work across the entire neck.

With its powerful bridge humbucker, two classic Strat single coils and a five-way blade switch, the Limited Edition Standard Blackout Stratocaster HSS offers a wide palette of tones in a single, striking instrument. It is a great choice for players who want the familiarity of a Stratocaster with a more aggressive visual edge and the extra punch of a humbucker at the bridge.

Stealthy Blackout Styling

The satin black finish, matching black headstock, 1-ply black pickguard and all-black hardware give this Stratocaster a distinctive, stage-ready presence. Black pickup covers, knurled flat-top control knobs and black dot inlays complete the look, making it ideal for players who prefer a modern, understated aesthetic that still commands attention under the lights.

Versatile HSS Pickup Configuration

A Fender Standard humbucker in the bridge position is paired with two Fender Standard single-coil Stratocaster pickups in the middle and neck. This HSS layout delivers everything from thick, full-bodied rock tones on the bridge to bright, articulate Strat chime on the neck and middle, with five switch positions providing a wide range of usable sounds for multiple genres.

Comfortable Modern C Maple Neck

The bolt-on maple neck with a Modern C profile and satin urethane finish offers a familiar, comfortable feel that suits both rhythm and lead playing. The 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard, 21 medium jumbo frets and black dot inlays provide a smooth, contemporary playing surface that makes bends, vibrato and complex chords feel natural and controlled.

Expressive Two-Point Tremolo

A modern two-point synchronised tremolo bridge with satin black steel block saddles and a screw-in tremolo arm allows for smooth pitch modulation and expressive vibrato. Combined with Fender Standard cast/sealed tuners and dual-wing string trees, the hardware is designed to offer stable tuning performance while still giving you the freedom to use the tremolo creatively.

• Limited Edition Blackout Finish - The satin black body, matching headstock, black hardware and single-ply black pickguard create a cohesive blackout look that stands apart from standard Stratocaster models, perfect for players who want a darker, more modern visual vibe.
• HSS Pickup Layout for Maximum Flexibility - A Fender Standard bridge humbucker teams up with two single-coil Strat pickups to cover everything from high-gain riffs and chunky power chords to sparkling cleans and glassy in-between tones, reducing the need to swap guitars mid-set.
• Modern C Neck with Satin Urethane Finish - The comfortable Modern C profile, 9.5 inch radius and satin finish combine to provide an easy-playing neck that feels fast and smooth, helping you play longer with less fatigue whether you are gigging, recording or practising.
• Two-Point Synchronised Tremolo System - The modern two-point tremolo with satin black steel block saddles and screw-in arm delivers stable, responsive pitch control, allowing subtle shimmers or more dramatic dives while maintaining reliable performance.
