Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker Olympic Pearl Maple

The Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker Maple Electric Guitar Olympic Pearl is a 6-string electric guitar, with an alder body, maple neck and fingerboard, Shawbucker bridge pickup, 4th Generation Noisless single-coil middle and neck pickups, with chrome hardware, and a olympic pearl finish. The American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker Series from Fender is a set of innovative instruments that mix together modern sound and innovative features with visually traditional style.

The American Elite HSS features the new 4th Generation Noiseless neck and middle pickups, combined with the powerful Shawbucker open-coil humbucker bridge pickup. The 4th Generation Noiseless pickups represent a leap in pickup design by combining vintage sound with an effectively noise-free performance. The Shawbuckers on the other hand feature a snarling midrange that creates clear cleans and huge overdrive, allowing a plethora of musical styles to be expressed.

Designed for the fast guitar player who seeks effortless position changes, this guitar features a compound profile neck that is ideal for all playing styles. This neck is composed of a modern “C”-shape at the nut, with the profile morphing along the length of the neck to a modern “D”-shaped profile at the updated neck heel, providing plenty of comfortable support for fret hand antics. Locking, all short-post tuning machines provide buzz-free performances thanks to an increased break angle at the nut. The smooth two-point modern tremolo adds emotive and complex touches to your performance without affecting your tuning.

Fender is renowned for head-turning style seen in every guitar they release, with the American Elite HSS Shawbucker being no different. Newly refined, sleek and deeper contours hug the player’s body to the black chrome headstock logo. Along with large pearloid fret markers, this guitar will impress any audience with elegant style. Each guitar comes with a redesigned Elite Molded Case featuring TSA locks, offering increased protection for your brand new instrument.
