STRATOCASTER HSS ELECTRIC GUITAR, BUTTERCREAM 144522534 FENDER

The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of Fender's foundations. With this classic sound, bell-like highs, punchy mids and robust lows, combined with crystal clear articulation, the flexible-sounding Player Stratocaster HSS is packed with authentic Fender feel and style, it's versatile enough to handle any style of music . and it's the perfect platform to create your own sound.

The Fender Player Series Stratocaster HSS MN electric guitar combines the classic design that has been a favorite of many for decades. The Player Series Strats also feature some unique additions that expand their versatile performance to cater to the latest generation of experimental guitarists.

CLASSIC STRAT BODY

The ergonomically shaped Stratocaster body is coveted by many due to its exquisitely executed contours and curves in all the right places. Whether you prefer to use yours high or low, the Stratocaster rests right against you during performances, removing any obstacles so you can continue doing what you do best.

The body is crafted from alder, a Fender favorite due to its impressive tonal versatility and lightweight feel. For those who need a guitar that can withstand the pressures of gigging night after night, the alder is a welcome performance partner. The painting is protected by a thin layer of glossy polyester, which is combined with a 3-ply parchment pickguard to achieve a striking effect.

MODERN "C" NECK

Attached to the body is a responsive yet robust maple neck, which is shaped into the modern "C" profile that allows it to sit sweetly in the hand. The satin urethane neck finish prevents grip from building up and impeding movement for an ultra-fast feel. The generous 25.5-inch scale length securely maintains string tension for consistent response every time.

Along with the neck is a bright-sounding maple fingerboard, which houses 22 medium-jumbo frets with dot position inlays to guide your way in style. The addition of the 22nd fret provides great flexibility when laying down licks and riffs, giving you greater potential for silky smooth solos in the upper register. The 9.5-inch fingerboard radius offers a flatter surface for laying down riffs and licks, allowing you to execute string bends without resistance.

Designed to have a little more edge, but with authentic Fender tone at their core, the Player Series pickups are clear and focused. This model features the HSS (Humbucker, Single, Single) configuration for those who want a thicker tone when moving to the bridge.

The 2-point tremolo bridge delivers a smooth, vibrant experience with superior low action, tuning stability and intonation.

The modern C neck is soft to the touch and is ideal for playing lead line chord passages, so nothing will slow the player down. Expanding the range of the instrument by adding a 22nd ^fret to add more note options.

The curves of the Player Stratocaster are crafted from the original design to capture the true essence of the early models.

All Stratocasters have an official Fender F stamp on the neck to confirm without a doubt that it is the genuine article.
