This is a beautiful Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker Olympic Pearl. Excellent condition, with just a tiny mark on the side of the body, quite hard to photograph. No dings or scuffs.

This is model was the top of the US range, just below the Fender custom shop guitars.

Considered by many one of the best Strat models apart from Custom Shop. It is the original Strat with innovation for modern players. Fender have made a lot of changes here. The most visible one is that they have moved the truss rod adjustment to the bottom of the neck. They have also constructed a new compound shape neck to match the compound radius fingerboard. This neck carves from their Modern ‘C’ shape to a very modern ‘D’ carve so you get great control over both ends of the neck. This matches up perfectly with their compound radius fretboard that goes between a vintage 9.5” radius and the low end to a 14” at the high end.

Loads of features and tonal options - S1 switch and Push/Push Passing Lane Switch to Engage Bridge Pickup and Bypass Tone Controls.

This model has been replaced by the Ultra, which don't get some of the specs above to reduce costs, such as the the neck compound back shape C to D.

Collection from E16 Newham or can be shipped with no extra costs, safely packed and fully insured.

Comes with original deluxe molded Fender hard case and case candy.
