Gold Coverage: (What’s This?)

Fender

Incorporates evolutionary advances while retaining the look and feel that has made the Stratocaster legendary.

The Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS is for guitarists who demand more from their electric guitar. The compound-radius fretboard encourages exhilaratingly effortless string bending anywhere along the neck. 2 new Fender N3 noiseless pickups supercharge your sound with improved Stratocaster tones while the DH-1 humbucking bridge pickup is right there when you need to take everything up to 11—all with no hum.

Reconfigured S-1 switching offers even more knockout tonal options. The all-new "passing lane" switch instantly routes your signal from any pickup position to the bridge position with the tone circuit bypassed, blasting overtones and volume straight into the Strat-osphere. Other American Deluxe features include staggered locking tuners, an LSR roller nut, 2-point synchronized American Deluxe tremolo bridge with pop-in arm, and a beveled neck heel. Fender includes a molded Fender-exclusive SKB case with glass-reinforced latches and TSA locks, cable, and strap locks with the American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS.

Fender N3 Noiseless pickups
N3 Noiseless pickups deliver the best of yesterday and today, because they deliver landmark vintage Fender tone and response without the hum that can plague single-coil pickups. Using an improved stacked coil-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Stratocaster pickup position. The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the sized, shape, and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone. N3 pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. An Alnico 5 magnet is used in the bridge position, Alnico 2 in the middle position, and Alnico 3 for the neck position.

American Deluxe Strat HSS

| Review By: Peter Vincent | 1 day, 3 hours ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

the addition of a humbucker makes an already great guitar even better. the bypass switch is nice when you want to cut through the mix. The passive mid boost is also cool. A lot of guitar for the money

Quality:

There's no question  this is top quality for the money. the features, fit and finish, tone and most of all playability has always attracted me to fender. I own three strats and I love them all. I own other guitars too but I love playing a fender stratocaster. those who know understand what i'm saying.

Value:

Value has always been a hhallmark of fender instruments and this is no exception. Rosewood, top notch pickups, LSR nut, excellent build quality and finish and sound like no other.. for under two grand? No wonder I love these. I'll put it up against anything.

Overall:

Overall this is one mean strat. The single coils give a nice ringing tone while the humbucker gives a fat mid heavy tone. Some reviewers found the new N3 pickups to be thin. I do not agree with this. I find all the pickups on this guitar to be sweet. I supose everybody has a different idea of how the pickups should sound. I can get everything from Hank to Hendrix on it through my hot rod deluxe. Don't hesitate. this will surely become one of your faves. No wonder so many musicians play these.

Features:

I got this strat ~3 weeks ago.  I love it. it sounds fgtreat and is very playable.  The S-1 switch doesn't do too much for me, but it doesn't hurt anything etiher.  The only issues were 1) - a small pinhead sized bubble in the finish on the neck, and 2) - pretty bad fret buzz from having the action set too low.  The fret buzz is easy to fix, but the bubble on the neck is there forever.

I got the 5-8 days shipping, ordered the guitar on Friday late and it got here on the next Wedensday.

Value:

I wanted an American strat, and liked the features on this one. It fits like a glove.

Overall:

I've been waiting to get this guitar, so I wanted one with the bells and whistles.  I was having a hard time deciding between the color I got and the metllic sunburst, but I like natural wood, and wnet with this one.

The most important part is to just play.

Disappointed

Overall:

I have many other Strats which I all love, but decided to take the next step up to the American Deluxe, mainly for the compound-radiused fingerboard, which I love.

 

Pros: Action and fretwork are the best I've ever played. The radius is subtle, yet noticeable aand extremely comfortable. Very solid joint. Definitely feels like it will last a lifetime, which is good because it's probably one of the very few guitars I will always keep. Locking tuners and pre-installed strap-locks are a nice touch. The case is also great, and I have no hesitations about shipping the guitar in it (it's already made the Transatlantic journey once). S-1 with the HSS gives many voices. But...

 

Cons: The pickups. Firstly, they were set up horribly. I understand that the humbuckers are going to have more output than the single coils, but the volume difference made switching pickups undoable. As for the sound, they've definitely got a more modern sound to them. It's actually quite a "perfect" sound, but to the point of being sterile and characterless. Unfortunately it sat in the case for most of the past year because, while it was incredibly great feeling to play, it sounded pretty boring to play. Of course, that's just my opinion and others may love the tones. I've ordered some new pups to stick in there to hopefully get some more life out of it. My second major gripe has to do with the body. I got the Olympic Pearl with maple, which is a beautiful finish, but even with the opaque finish you can clearly see, and even feel, the seam where the body blanks were glued together. It's a good 0.5mm raise. I would've been surprised to see this happen this badly to a Squier, but the fact that it passed QC to an AMERICAN DELUXE is absolutely unacceptable. Unfortunately, that's just one of the risks of buying blindly online. It's still not a bad guitar because of it, and sure it's just a cosmetic issue, but for that much money I would've expected a little better.  Once I get new pickups in it, this will definitely be a great guitar.

I've been eyeballing this guitar for a quite a while and saving up to pay for it.  My wife surprised me with overnight shipping right before I went out of town and my new guitar got to make the road trip with me. I'm a church worship director and this guitar gives me so much more ability it's not even funny. The features of this guitar are amazing and it fills the room with great sound & tone. I wish I had the money to buy more products just like this one.
