Product Description

Fender's American Deluxe Stratocaster(r) HSS is for guitarists who want a little more from their instruments. A compound radius fretboard allows easy string bending anywhere on the neck, and two N3 Noiseless(tm) pickups offer improved Stratocaster tones while the DH-1 humbucker bridge pickup has higher output for fatter lead tones with no hum. Reconfigured S-1(tm) switching brings other distinctive tonal options. The S-1 switch instantly send your signal from any pickup position to the bridge position with the tone circuit bypassed, giving you more overtones and a little more volume. Other features on the American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS include staggered locking tuners, LSR roller nut, two-point synchronized American Deluxe tremolo bridge with pop-in arm, and beveled neck heel. The compound radius fretboard on this version of the Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS is made from Rosewood for a very slightly warmer sound. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (7 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Awesome guitar...it does it all"
Sound: does blues rock and metal...if you are straight up metal I'd go for something else but if you need an arsenal of different tones for different stylings buy this guitar. Feature: Locking tuners, LSR roller nut allows the whammy freedom of a locking unit without the hassles. S1 switching is ok..I don't use it. Ease of Use: Using digital FX processor for my sounds, I get slightly different(better) sound from this axe than my Blacktop. I had to create presets for each guitar. The Blactkop is hotter and the American Deluxe is warmer and richer. Other than that it's a Strat. If you know what a Strat is about it's about as easy as breathing. Quality: Built like a German Tiger tank. Even after 9 years of hard playing the finish shows NO wear other than some very minor dings and scratches that I put there. Had to replace 1st 12 frets from heavy use. I'll be giving this guitar to my son when I pass. Value: Great value because it covers so many bases. Way more versatile than a G****N LP and far more rugged. Think military Humvee with a custom finish. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed it Overall: This guitar is an all around workhorse. Bought my 1st one in 2003 and have played the crap out of it with no problems other than normal wear. I had to have the first 12 frets replaced this year because I have played this guitar so much and so hard. Gigs, band rehearsal and home use it gets played everyday. Bridge 'bucker is fat and meaty and you get the classic strat tones from the 2 singles. The S-1 switching is cool but I don't use it much. LSR roller nut and locking tuners let you whammy to your heart's content with no tuning issues. I have held this guitar by the wammy bar and nothing else, shaking it up and down onstage and returned to perfect pitch and flawless playing without worries. I'm writing this reveiw because I'm getting ready to buy another one from ZZ here very soon. Just bought a MIM Blacktop Strat with Floyd Rose from them last X'mas and it ROCKS too, but not quite the same quality and feel as my American Deluxe. I play all my guitars through a Digitech RP1000 to a TECH 21 Powerengine 60 which I also bought from ZZ.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar (Rosewood with Case) "
Overall: I recently bought a new Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar (Rosewood with Case) from zZounds. When the guitar arrived I wasn’t very happy with the color. (Sunset Metallic)I contacted zZounds and explained that the guitar itself was amazing but I wasn’t content with my color selection. Without any hesitation they told me to return it and they would send a replacement. When the new instruments I was instantly in love (Amber with a Rosewood Fretboard). The guitars playability is unbelievable. The new N3 pickups sound awesome and the locking tuners with the LSR roller nuts keep it in tune no matter how hard you bend the strings. The only concern I had was that FedEx left it on the front porch in the rain. (not a zZounds concern) No damage due to the double cardboard boxing and case but it is unnerving to find a very expensive instrument left unattended in the rain in front of your house. Also found the guitar $200.00 cheaper about a week later and zZounds honored the price guarantee they advertise. Great company, Great Strat.
