Fender American Elite Strat HSS ShawBucker
Product no: 9000-0036-1897 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Stratocaster HSS ShawBucker from Fender's American Elite Series guarantees an incredibly versatile tonal palette and a look that is sure to turn heads. This American Strat has a stylish Ocean Turquoise finish that looks truly refreshing when combined with the light maple fretboard. This guitar is full of significant details like handy locking machine heads and a modern 2-point tremolo, which shows how much effort has gone into the development of this legendary electric guitar. Added bonus: it comes complete with a case!

American Elite: broad tonal palette

This Stratocaster is equipped with an HSS pickup configuration, which means you get a potent ShawBucker in the bridge position and a 4th Generation Deluxe Noiseless single-coil in the middle and neck positions. Thanks to a built-in S-1 switch, you've got a number of possible pickup combinations at your fingertips. What's more, you can use the push/pull potentiometer to bypass the bridge pickup's tone circuit. This is especially handy when you want to add some extra attitude to your performance.

Neck innovation

One of the most important parts of an electric guitar is its neck. For a truly great-sounding guitar that feels great too, Fender gave this American Strat an innovative compound neck profile that goes from a Modern C to a D, and a compound fretboard radius that goes from 9.5 inches to 14 inches. The result is nothing short of sublime playing comfort!
