Fender Fishman TriplePlay Strat HSS

The Stratocaster of the future is here. Fender's Fishman TriplePlay Stratocaster HSS uses state-of-the-art built-in digital technology to give you a thrilling new playing experience in which you can emulate other instruments with ease and create a world of all-new sounds. It's a phenomenal leap forward in the evolution of the world's greatest electric guitar.

With its potent tonal combination of Vintage Noiseless(TM) single-coil Stratocaster neck and middle pickups and a powerful Seymour Duncan(R) Pearly Gates(TM) humbucking bridge pickup, it's a fine instrument in the conventional manner. But two other ultra-modern performance features launch this re-imagined Stratocaster into a brilliantly exciting future. Engage the built-in Fishman(R) TriplePlay system, which wirelessly transmits MIDI data to your computer to create virtually unlimited sounds with a wealth of performance, composing and recording features. The Fishman hex pickup, TriplePlay D-pad controller and MIDI volume control are all built into the front of the guitar, with the TriplePlay wireless controller built into the back. The wireless controller transmits the signal from the hex pickup to the included USB transceiver, which plugs into your computer (a handy clip on the back of the headstock holds the transceiver when not in use).

For charging the unit, a power supply and micro-USB cable that connects to the TriplePlay wireless controller are included. Also, the mini-USB output on the side of the lower bout digitally transmits the audio signals from the three Stratocaster pickups to your computer using the included USB cable. The adjacent 1/8" output jack lets you monitor the proceedings with headphones and has its own volume control on the front of the guitar.

Once the signal reaches your computer -- from the TriplePlay system or from the mini-USB output--all the software you need to record, edit and play back your sounds comes in an included USB flash drive that contains Fishman(R) TriplePlay, IK Multimedia SampleTank 2.5 and AmpliTube Custom Shop, and Native Instruments Komplete Elements (additional software such as Notion Progression and PreSonus Studio One(R) Artist available for free download with product registration).

The guitar also features a maple neck with "modern C" profile and satin finish, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, standard master volume control and 1/4" output jack, standard five-way pickup switching, three-ply parchment pickguard, and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles. Available in Black and 3-color Sunburst gloss finishes. Deluxe gig bag included.

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I can't let that one review with bad experience determine rating of this very nice Fender Deluxe Stratocaster with futuristic capabilities. After good setup everything is perfect. Two noiseless Vintage pickups and good humbucker - versatile . I just sold my Fender Deluxe Stratocaster USA, 1993, so I have to compare with something. I love vintage Headstock. Sound - even if there is no Tone pot, no worries, it's precise, Just with switch you can dial what you need, but you can tweek on Amp everything. I'm happy with purchase, good value for the money. To mention great software. For studio, home studio environment - great!!!
