The Fender Contemporary Series Stratocaster Deluxe HSS from 1985–1987 represents Fender’s innovative mid-80s era, built in Japan with exceptional quality and forward-thinking features. Finished in Frost White, this model blends vintage Strat DNA with modern performance upgrades from the factory.
Known for its fast neck and outstanding playability, this guitar delivers fantastic action with a straight, stable neck, making it a true player’s instrument.
This example has been upgraded with a set of Fender Tex-Mex pickups, offering a hotter, more aggressive take on classic Strat tones. The original DiMarzio pickups are included, adding value and flexibility for collectors or players wanting to revert to original spec.
A custom potentiometer has been added to blend the bridge and neck pickups, unlocking additional tonal combinations not available in standard Strat wiring.
Additional upgrades include Schaller strap locks with strap included. The guitar comes with an original Fender molded hardcase.
