Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS: versatile sounds

HSS stands for Humbucker, Single, Single, indicating its pickup configuration. The Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS has a powerful humbucker pickup in bridge position and two single-coil pickups in middle and neck position, allowing it to create a wide range of sounds, from clear and sparkling cleans to a crunchy edge and rough leads. Like most Strats, this model has a master volume and two tone control knobs for filtering out high frequencies. Pulling out the bottom tone knob converts the humbucker to a single-coil for a fierce bite.

Cut from the right stuff

The Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS is made from alder, a lightweight wood type that provides a rich sound with an excellent balance between bass, mids and trebles. The vintage-tint neck is made from maple (true to Fender tradition) with a rosewood fretboard and has also received a modern makeover with 22 wide and high jumbo frets and a flatter 9.5 inch radius for more playing comfort. The guitar features smooth vintage-style tuners and tremolo bridge and a 3-layer black pickguard. It proudly brandishes the Fender spaghetti logo on its headstock.
