The Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker takes the fundamental design of one of the most iconic instruments ever produced and dresses it up with features and appointments for today's players. Sporting a pair of the company's new fourth generation noiseless single coil pickups with a Shaw humbucker, the classic tone is complemented with an S-1 switching system, tremolo bridge, and new Passing Lane button to bypass tone and volume control. Throw in slick finishes like Autumn Blaze Metallic and Olympic Pearl along with your choice of rosewood or maple fretboards and you've got a serious instrument on your hands.
