Fender's Description
Fender Deluxe Strat HSS Plus Top iOS
The Fender Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Plus Top with IOS Connectivity lets you expand the sonic possibilities of the world's greatest electric guitar by plugging it straight into iOS devices such as your iPhone, iPad, iPod or computer--with no need for any external devices--for easy recording, editing, monitoring and more. Along with all its other great features, you get superior signal-to-noise ratio and remarkable dynamic range for an exciting and truly state-of-the-art playing experience.The guitar's built-in USB audio interface is what does the trick. You can always play it as a great-sounding standard HSS Stratocaster, but the USB output and 1/8" stereo headphone output on the side of the lower bout deliver a whole other world of sonic versatility and creativity. Use the included USB mini-B to Lighting cable to connect the guitar directly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod, or use the included USB mini-B to USB Type A cable to connect directly to your Mac or PC (a custom USB mini-B to MFi 30-pin cable for connection to older iPhone, iPad and iPod models is sold separately). And to top it all off, it's a gorgeous guitar with a beautiful flame maple top in a choice of Aged Cherry Burst or Tobacco Sunburst gloss finishes.
Other features include a maple neck with "modern C" profile and gloss finish, maple or rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, single-coil neck and middle pickups, humbucking bridge pickup, five-way switching and three white plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone, headphone volume), three-ply parchment pickguard and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles.

I saw this guitar in my local shop the other day and instantly fell in love with the finish. This guitar is GORGEOUS! Pictures don't even begin to do it justice. After drooling over the looks of the guitar, I picked it up to see if it played as good as it looks. I am now the proud owner of this fine piece of craftsmanship. If you are on the fence about this guitar, BUY IT NOW, thank me later. I heard people voicing concerns to me about if I was worried the technology would be outdated (speaking of the iOS connectivity), and I've told them I'm not concerned at all. You can update the firmware on this guitar and Fender will carry any different connection cables that we may see down the line from Apple. Fender will make sure this guitar stays current with the latest technological advances. Even if iOS connectivity doesn't have you all giddy, the guitar still functions as any normal electric guitar. This is not a gimmick guitar. This is a well crafted instrument with a convenient way to plug and play on most iOS devices, or any computer. This guitar has it all; looks, playability, versatility, quality, and convenience. What more could you want? 5 stars across the board for me!
