The Fender American Select Stratocaster SSS is a premium USA-made electric guitar that bridges iconic Strat design with modern luthier-level craftsmanship. It features a lightweight alder body, a stunning quilted maple top, a rosewood inlaid maple neck lightly oiled finish, and specially voiced single-coil pickup. Players favor the Select SSS model for its crisp resonance, premium tonewoods, and highly versatile tonal palette, perfect for blues, funk, and classic rock.

The Fender American Select with an "inlaid" rosewood neck refers to the premium revolutionary channel-bound rosewood fretboard that was seamlessly inlaid directly into the maple neck

• Body: Solid lightweight alder with a visually striking flame maple top.
• Channel-Bound Construction: Instead of sitting on top of the maple neck, the rosewood fretboard is recessed into it, giving you the feel of natural wood binding with perfectly rolled, buttery edges and no side seams. Compound Radius: Features a 9.5"-14" compound-radius fingerboard that effortlessly accommodates both comfortable chord playing near the nut and smooth, low-action string bending higher up the neck.
• Pickups: Three premium, specially-voiced Fender Select single-coil pickups.
• Electronics: Master volume, a tone pot for the neck, and a no-load tone control for the middle and bridge. This circuit drops out of the signal path entirely when fully turned up, delivering the pickup's uncolored output.
• Hardware: Two-point synchronized floating tremolo with rolled steel saddles and locking tuners.
• Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The neck is an oiled finish.

Condition: 9/10

- Fret wear: You can sort of see some extremely light flat spots starting to form in the first position of the B and G strings upon close inspection, but hardly worth noting! Frets are still 9.5/10! 

- Any wear of note: The guitar is in overall amazing shape and only exhibits the normal light swirling and surface scratching here and there in the clear coat (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Can happen from simply being wiped/cleaned with a cloth) that's only really visible in certain lighting. But very minimal and minor, and to be expected from any used guitar. Nothing that will really photograph. No dings, dents or damage. The pickguard shows light swiriling also.

- General notes: This is truly an outstanding strat in every regard! Each cut of wood is so stunning and gorgeous. Whether it has vivid figuring or beautiful grain. It's super resonant and responsive. And plugged in, it has really pleasing and vibrant overtones. The neck is so comfortable and fast as well. It's a stellar guitar that looks as good as it sounds and plays!!

- Accessories included: Original hard-shell case and pictured case candy only.
