The Strat That Does It All—And Then Some
This ain’t your grandpa’s Strat, unless your grandpa was seriously cool. This pre-owned 2016 Fender Deluxe Strat HSS is a purebred tone machine, built in Ensenada and ready to rock. It’s got that classic Strat feel but is packed with modern features for the player who demands versatility. The Tobacco Sunburst finish over an Alder body is a timeless look, and the tortoiseshell pickguard gives it just the right amount of attitude. This one’s in good shape and comes with a gig bag, ready for the stage or the studio.
Modern Feel, Classic Vibe
The magic starts with the neck—a satin-finished Maple “Modern C” profile that feels fast and comfortable in your hand. No sticky gloss finish here to slow you down. It’s topped with a Maple fingerboard and a flatter 12″ radius, which makes string bending a breeze, especially up high. Paired with 22 narrow-tall frets, this neck is built for both chordal work and effortless soloing.
A Swiss Army Knife of Sound
Here’s where it gets really interesting. The HSS pickup configuration gives you the best of both worlds. You get two Vintage Noiseless single-coils in the neck and middle positions for that iconic, glassy Strat chime without the 60-cycle hum. In the bridge, a Twin Head Vintage humbucker delivers a fat, warm, and powerful tone that’s perfect for driving your amp into sweet overdrive. But wait, there’s more—the S-1 switch hidden in the volume knob splits the humbucker’s coil, giving you a bright and spanky single-coil bridge tone on demand. From clean funk to screaming rock leads, this guitar has you covered.
Rock-Solid Hardware
Fender loaded this Deluxe model with smart hardware choices that enhance performance. The 2-point synchronized tremolo provides smooth vibrato action with excellent tuning stability, thanks in large part to the Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking tuners. Quick string changes and a stable setup mean you can focus on the music. It’s a pro-level instrument that’s ready for serious play.
