Get the classic tone of a Fender Strat with the added kick of a humbucker pickup. As part of the popular Fender Standard Series, this HSS Strat delivers outstanding value and build quality in a classic design. Featuring a smooth maple neck, whammy bar, and a five-way pickup selector, the HSS Strat is a sleek and versatile tone machine.

Sound of the HSS Setup

The humbucker, single, single pickup configuration is a long-time favorite of players in need a guitar that can do it all. The dual single-coils in the forward positions provide the vintage Strat tone of the surf-rock '60s with chiming, bell-like high-end. For players looking for a little something extra, the humbucker in the bridge position packs plenty of fat double-coil tone with robust mids and lows to complement the sparkle of the single-coils. Use the five-way pickup switch to dial-in the exact right tone for any situation. The humbucker by itself gives a thick, warm tone ideal for jazz and hard-rock, while the combination of both single-coils gives a wide yet precise jangle for classic-rock and blues.

Fender Quality Hardware and Classic Strat Playability

This Strat includes quality Fender hardware and components for an extremely comfortable and natural-feeling playing experience. The high-mass bridge sports a synchronized tremolo system in the classic Fender mold to add another layer of sonic versatility. The neck is made with a comfortable C-shaped profile which -- combined with the maple fretboard -- affords fluid action all up and down the guitar. Like any Stratocaster, this guitar gushes with vintage style giving it a old-school vibe to match its classic tone.

Features:

- Versatile pickup configuration with one humbucker and two single-coil Fender Standard pickups
- Synchronized tremolo with high-mass bridge block
- Smooth maple fretboard with medium jumbo frets
- Comfortable C-shaped neck with tinted finish
- Classic Fender vibe with 70s-style headstock logo

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (8 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Awesome guitar at an awesome price!"
Sound: The guitar is very responsive and versatile, allowing me to play a wide variety of music ranging from church music to rock to country. The only thing that I knocked points for is the fact the bridge pup could be beefier. That problem will soon be solved with a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB humbucker. Feature: For tthe price and quality, I was pleased with the guitar and gigbag. Ease of Use: Very solid instrument. One of the best playing out of the box guitars I've ever played. Quality: Very solid and wdell made. Mexican quality and durability really surprised me. Value: Very much worth the price. Manufacturer Support: Great manual. The best support is an instrument so well made you never need it. The Wow Factor: Very beautiiful guitar but I've always been partial to burst finish guitars. Overall: Will be playing this beautiful beast for a while.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great guitar at a great value."
Sound: The sound is as you'd expect from Fender single-coils--no disappointment there. The humbucker is nice and crisp, but isn't as meaty as, say, a Gibson. Feature: Electronics work well and the tuners are solid. The vibrato works well without that many tuning issues. The standard gig bag is top-notch. Ease of Use: As easy as any Strat you'll play! Quality: Workmanship is solid. Frets are well-done. Intonation is very good. Value: Good value for the money. I believe the Made-in-Mexico Strats hold up well against the USA-made models. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: Seeing as how the Strat design is copied more than any other, I'd say it's pretty "sexy." Overall: I can't see giving this baby up. I'd buy another one if this one is swiped--but I might go with a sunburst rather than black.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
