If you're looking for a guitar that blends classic Fender versatility with high-output power, the Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS is your perfect entry into the world of expressive, rock-ready tone. Designed to accompany players through their most formative musical moments, this Strat® packs punch and precision into a sleek, modern package. The HSS pickup configuration delivers bold sonic range—from sparkling cleans to aggressive lead tones—thanks to the combination of a Fender Standard humbucker at the bridge and traditional single-coil Strat pickups in the middle and neck.

The poplar body is finished in a deep gloss black and paired with a 3-ply black pickguard for a bold, contemporary look. A “Modern C”-shaped satin-finished maple neck with a 9.5” radius Indian laurel fingerboard ensures smooth fretting and fast transitions, while medium jumbo frets provide ample room for expressive bends and chord work. The 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with satin chrome saddles adds tuning stability and smooth vibrato response. With dependable hardware and an accessible, gig-ready design, this Stratocaster is ready for the spotlight. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
