"Duh!"

Feature:
I was not impressed with the vibrato at first but once I attached it properly it worked great. What they don't say on the web page is that it comes without the head guides for the B and high E. Was I please to see this was not on my strat. I saw Hendrix many times and he used this area of the guitar for various sounds, which cannot be accomplished with the guides.

Quality:
I bought a "Blemished" sunburst HSS. I opened the box expecting scratches or a big gash in the body or neck - NONE! One little nick on the pick guard, big deal. There was NOTHING wrong with this guitar and I saved hundreds of dollars. So, I bought another amp to use with my ancient Marshall, the 100 watt Frontman 212 and an Digitech RP250. Now I surf ZZound looking for other bargains some bozo sent back. Thank to the bozo who sent back my Strat you did the right thing - FOR ME!

Value:
DUH! 40% off, where is the margin of profit for ZZound? How can you people make a profit? Best deal I found anywhere.

Desirability:
This is not a fair question, I have been married for decades. Sex appeal? It made me feel 30 years younger. I was an Art Professor and a high paid Graphics Designer and art/design consultant before I retired. If Picasso played guitar he would own this guitar. Form and function baby - it will make your heart swell when you open the guitar case and then wrap your hands around it's neck. A total turn-on. I need a cold shower.

Sound:
I have been playing guitar for more than four decades. I was in a number of bands in the 60's playing bass. The sound of this strat is mind blowing. I wanted to buy a Les Paul Gibson and a Fender Strat for their two distinctive sounds. The HSS Deluxe Strat has both covered. Perhaps not exactly but darn close. Great sound and with the S1 switch, Wow!

Ease of Use:
OK, listen up! Get this guitar! It is easy to play and once you start you can't stop playing. Since I got this guitar my custom G&L Legacy has been in the case and my very expensive Larrivee Dreadnaught has not been out of the closet. Hey I'm an AARP guy and I am ready to get back on stage with this guitar. Playing All Along the Watchtower has never sounded better. Thank you Fender.

Support:
There was nothing wrong with the my guitar but I still called customer support to ask about the vibrato and the missing guides. ZZound was going to send me another vibrato and the guides to have my luthier repair my strat. OK I was being a picky jerk but customer service went out of their way to make me happy. ZZ is the best. Oh, UPS punched big holes in the shipping boxes but nothing, nothing was damaged because ZZ professionally packed my guitar with layers of protection, thank you ZZound.

Overall:
No one will touch my baby, not even my wife. If my house starts to burn down i will have a difficult choice to make. Look, if you're serious about music you need to buy a Fender Stratocaster. There is nothing else that compares, at these rediculously low prices. I have thousands of dollars in guitar in my house and dollar for dollar this was the best buy of my life.

Submitted: 9/5/2008

Style of Music: I have played in rock bands and jazz quartets. But I love Country as well.

Feature:
Uhhh well...uhhh...i think the S1 Switching system is good enough for me.

Quality:
It's a Fender, it's well made. It just looks perfect everthing's secure and tight.

Value:
Worth it, buy this guitar now!

Desirability:
It's very sexy.

Sound:
OMG this thing is amazing i got it today used but in mint condition for $820 there is nothing the matter with it, it's great! I plugged it in when i got home on my dad's little Roland and it was amazing and the amp isn't that great either so i plan to get one in the $500-$800 range to really bring out the sound.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, it's a fender...

Support:
Haven't Needed any so it get's a 10.

Overall:
I'm in love.

The American Deluxe Strat HSS delivers all the refined features found on the American Deluxe Strat, but brimming with beefy tone thanks to a Fender DH-1 humbucking pickup, the S-1 switching system, and an LSR Roller Nut with locking machine heads. The two Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups (neck and middle) are wound extra hot for proper balanced with the humbucking pickup. The amazing S-1 switching system lets you switch instantly from humbucking to single coil tones - just tap the switch hidden in the crown of the master volume knob. Includes hardshell case.

Founded in 1946, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has been an American icon for over 50 years. In that time, Fender's contribution to the evolving sound of contemporary music has been global and continuous. By introducing the first commercially viable solidbody electric guitar, the first electric bass and countless classic amplifiers, Fender musical instruments have left their mark on jazz, blues, country, rock and many other styles of popular music.
