LEGENDARY TONE
The Fender Stratocaster has appeared on some of the most important songs and albums of all time, courtesy of slick body style and versatile sonic qualities.
The Stratocasters infamous 'SSS' single-coil pickup configuration provides an instantly recognisable sound that only Fender can achieve. Most Fender Stratocaster guitars feature a 5-way pickup selector. This allows you to utilise the bridge, middle or neck pickup in isolation, or blend them together.
There is also a range of different Fender Stratocaster models with humbucker configurations that dish up fatter, more powerful tones. These are referred to as 'HSS' or 'HH' Strats, with one or two humbuckers respectively.
AMERICAN ULTRA SERIES STRATOCASTER
Thanks to their American Ultra Noiseless pickups and S-1 switches, the American Ultra series introduces the most controllable Strat guitars Fender have ever made in an HSS and more traditional SSS format.
With this range, the designers at Fender have managed to eradicate that pesky 60-cycle hum that can sometimes creep in with single-coil pickups – making them ideal for professional performing musicians.
The crisp clear tones are all intact, except they're just easier to manage! A “Modern D” shaped profile neck is comfortable for chords and solos whilst an exposed truss rod adjustment wheel makes it a lot easier for us to make changes when needed.

FENDER AMERICAN PERFORMER STRATOCASTER
The range of Fender American Performer Stratocaster guitars is a perfect option for players in need of a total workhorse that allows them to make subtle changes to their sound on the guitar.
The inclusion of a Greasebucket tone system allows you to roll back the tone of your guitar without suffering from an increased bass response. Jumbo frets and a “Modern C” shaped neck all contribute to a more comfortable playing experience for your Stratocaster.
In addition to this, the newly-designed Yosemite pickups sound incredible when clean or with a little distortion thrown at them.

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL II STRATOCASTER
The Fender American Professional Stratocaster guitars are the new ‘Standard’ American Stratocaster guitars that come loaded with lush sounding, Tim-Shaw designed V-Mod pickups. These offer more growl when need it most, while a new Treble bleed circuit allows you to maintain the bright, open Strat sound when you turn the volume down too! The Narrow tall frets in combination with a “Deep C” neck is perfect for soloing guitarists and those with slender fingers.
