The Fender American Elite Strat HSS SB MN (Satin Ice Blue Metallic) is designed with the professional musician in mind, offering the best possible sound variety and playing comfort. Equipped with high-end flourishes such as the American Elite Neck Heel for easy access to the high registers or the asymmetrically designed neck profile, which changes from a "C" profile on the saddle to a flat "D" profile, the American Elite Strat will be your go-to guitar for all writing and recording situations.
Fender 4th Generation Noiseless single coil pick-ups on the neck and in the middle, and a Shawbucker on the bridge provide varied and dynamic tones.
The asymmetric "Modern C to D" profile, which sits comfortably in the fretting hand, provides the ideal playing position in any register and supports every technique from easy to grasp chords in the lower registers to virtuoso solos at the other end of the fingerboard.
For the American Elite Strat HSS, Fender relies on the combination of a Shawbucker on the bridge and 2x 4th Generation Noiseless single coils in the middle and on the neck. Classic vintage sounds without ambient noise are no problem for this Strat. The S-1 circuit offers a further 5x tonal possibilities, which can be selected via a 5-way blade switch. The American Elite Strat HSS's "Passing Lane" circuit allows you to bypass the Volume and Tone circuit completely and send the signal from the bridge pick-up to the amplifier unaltered.
