Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster

Description

Hum-free Strat Tones from a Beautiful Axe!

Time to plug in and turn up! Now, you can get the big Strat stage and studio tones you love, without the hum. Fender's amazing American Deluxe Strat gives you all the great vibe, playability, and classic sound you expect — with zero 60-cycle hum. How? This American-built beauty features a trio of Fender's N3 Noiseless pickups! Plus, a reconfigured switching system gives you more tonal options than ever! This Strat is built to provide pro-caliber performance, whether you're laying down tracks or thrilling the crowd with your onstage licks.

You want stageworthy? Fender made the American Deluxe Strat ready for the stage, right out of its (also very roadworthy) hardshell case. Locking tuners and a super-smooth and stable 2-point trem bridge keep you in tune and let you play expressively. Strap locks come standard on this Strat, so your guitar stays strapped on even during the wildest live maneuvers. Best of all, those N3 pickups make cranking up a joy; you get that distinctive Strat tone, with no hum!

Play this American Deluxe Strat, and you'll never want to go back to what you were used to. The compound-radius rosewood fingerboard makes string bends easy — anywhere on the neck! You'll love how this Fender feels, and you'll especially appreciate the beveled neck heel, which makes upper-fret access easier than ever.
