Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker (3 Colour Sunburst, Rosewood) Overview
The Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker is the ultimate Strat for versatility and playability. The combination of Fender's stunning Shawbucker humbucker in the bridge and 4th generation Noiseless single coils in the middle and neck positions lets you dial in practically any tone, from vintage quack to modern punch. The volume knob has a push knob to engage the "passing lane", sending your Shawbucker's signal straight to the amp and bypassing the tone control for pure rock fury.The maple neck has been carved for superb playability, the compound radius fingerboard (9.5"-14") feels great for anything from chordal work to shredding. What's more, the profile has been designed from the ground up to feel great the whole way; it has a modern C shape at the nut and morphs to a D shape at the heel. The locking tuners increase the break angle at the nut for buzz free performance and give this Strat rock solid tuning stability. Fender have enhanced the Strat contours for the American Elite series, making it a comfortable guitar to play standing up or sitting down. If you're looking for a pro-standard Strat with great humbucking and single coil tones, look no further than the Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker.
