Fender Stratocaster American Elite HSS Maple – Olympic Pearl

Description

You can’t have everything in one guitar. Can you? Well, not all, but maybe almost everything. That’s at least what Fender intends with this American Elite HSS Stratocaster, a guitar with an alder body and a maple neck and fingerboard. With an HSS configuration that will allow you to bring out a wide variety of sounds, this guitar made in the USA is of unmatched versatility.

With its Shawbucker bridge pickup you will get very sharp and powerful tones, which can be suitable for any rock style, from hard rock to metal. In addition, its electronic circuit can be deactivated so that the sound only passes through this pickup, very useful if in the middle of a performance you want to jump directly to a solo. On the other hand, its fourth-generation Noisless single coil middle and neck pickups can go from blues to jazz to indie without the characteristic noises of this type of pickup.

In addition to a great sound, it is very comfortable to play thanks to its compound radius that allows you to grip more of the neck at the first frets and, as we go down, the radius shrinks to facilitate playing at the higher frets.

Maybe you can’t have everything in a guitar, but, without a doubt, with this one you will have almost everything. If you can only invest in a good guitar, this is probably your best investment.
