Introducing the Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker. For the purest and most powerful HSS sound, Fender enlisted acclaimed hum-bucking pickup guru Tim Shaw to create a bridge pickup of unrivaled tone and quality. Shaw's expertise dates far back to his work with the first and biggest names in the history of hum-bucking pickup design, and the result of his efforts -- the "Shawbucker" hum-bucking pickup -- is an electrifying landmark in Fender pickup design.

Shaw's handiwork makes the American Standard Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker a formidable instrument for guitarists who want the ultimate in modern hum-bucking tone. The model is made even more forceful by the added innovation of a dual 250K/500K volume potentiometer, which optimizes the tonality of each pickup switch setting by automatically running the Shawbucker bridge pickup at 500K for greater openness and brilliance, while the neck and middle pickups run at 250K for spine tingling single-coil sparkle. Along with all the other great American Standard Stratocaster HSS features players already love; it's a truly phenomenal Strat experience.

This thing purrs, sings, growls. I absolutely love it. All I've played are Les Pauls. This is so much fun to play. I wanted a Strat as a kid. I'm almost 48, and I finally got one.
