Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster

Description

Tone. Tradition. Innovation. Fender’s new American Deluxe Stratocaster® has all the modern features today’s guitarists demand. A compound radius fretboard allows exhilaratingly effortless string bending anywhere along the neck, and new N3 noiseless pickups supercharge your sound with improved Stratocaster tones for sparkling bell-like chime with no hum. Reconfigured S-1 switching offers even more knockout tonal options; other features include staggered locking tuners, two-point synchronized American Deluxe tremolo bridge with pop-in arm, and beveled neck heel.
