Product Description

The Fender Standard Stratocaster has remained essentially unchanged for its entire life. Although you can still buy this classic guitar sometimes you need something with a bit more heat and a bit more flare. With that I would like to introduce the Standard Strat HSS guitar with Floyd Rose. A classic design brought forward with a guitar for the lovers of extreme.

The Floyd Rose

Originally invented in 1977 this tremolo system changed the way people think about bridges and just what you can do with them. The ability to not only move down but up as well made dive bombs and squeals possible. Before this if you wanted one on your strat it involved either getting out the tools or taking it to a luthier to route enough space. Now it comes fitted out of the box, set up and ready to rock the stage.

The Hot New Sound

As cool as the Floyd Rose is it just wouldn't be right without some kind of extra hot pickup to make sure you can take full advantage of your guitar. So with this they have loaded in a humbucking pickup straight from the rock and metal ready Blacktop series in the bridge and two single coils in the neck and middle positions.

Just changing this one pickup opens up your guitar to a whole new world of different sounds. No longer do you have to worry about single coil hum getting in the way of your gated high gain sound as with a humbucker that background noise has gone.

The Traditional Standard Stratocaster

What stands out most with this guitar though is the fact that underneath it is still the same Fender Stratocaster that we all love. Fender got it right the first time round and although there have been small tweaks here and there this is not far off a classic strat in terms of build.

It still has the curved alder body that is hard wearing and just works for any style you want to play. It is a great wood for picking up the subtleties in your playing. The neck is made out of maple with a rosewood fingerboard and has been carved to Fender's Modern 'C' profile which is neither to thin nor too fat. If feels just right for pretty much any style.
