The Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar takes the refined elegance of its triple-single-coil brother and amps it up with the extra power of a humbucking bridge pickup. The Select Strat HSS features a striking Antique Burst gloss-lacquer finish on a sleek flame maple-top body. Its modern C shaped birdseye maple neck has a comfortable contoured heel, Bi-Flex truss rod system for rock-solid stability, a satin lacquer finish and rear-headstock ‘Fender American Select’ medallion.

The smooth-playing compound radius rosewood fretboard (9.5-14 in.) has 22 medium jumbo frets and stylish white pearloid position inlays. Full-throated sound roars from the Fender American Select Stratocaster humbucking bridge pickup, with singing tone from new Fender American Select Stratocaster single-coil neck and middle pickups-all combined with five-way switching and a no-load tone control that delivers the natural uncolored sound of the humbucking bridge pickup when dimed.

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
typical American Fender quality, excellent craftsmanship, exceptional finished body , neck is the best I've ever played and I've played a lot
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
don't know yet , only had it a few weeks but I expect it to be as reliable as any other fender I've ever had
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
by far the best guitar I've ever owned. beautiful, high quality, the neck is simply gorgeous, sounds great, feels great . what more can you ask.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
the neck is smooth as glass, with perfectly smooth fret edges, very fast playing neck, not heavy feels great in my hands, controls are nice and smooth,
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
awesome range of sounds you can get from this guitar, great for rock,country, R&B,blues. I don't play metal so I don't know about that but I don't see why not
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
the finish is great, the flame is simply beautiful, you have to look from different angles to truly appreciate it, the Birdseye maple neck is also as stunning as the body, they compliment each other very well
Action
How was the action out of the box?
this one was great right out of the box, I'm sure I'll have to make some adjustments just haven't noticed a need to yet. I usually do the majority of my own setups and repairs especially on a new one but this one has had no issues whatsoever.

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Nice quality. Pretty wood. Very glossy finish, would have preferred lower sheen.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Don't know. Had it a month. Appears solid.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I was worried about the sustain, being a bolt on, non pitched back neck, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tremolo holds tune surprisingly well. Love the chimey pickups. Humbucker at bridge helps. Love the radius on the neck very playable.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Neck is a nice shape, not too thin, not to thick. Everything is at a comfortable reach. I adjusted the action down, but was comfortable out of the box. Well thought out design.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Single coils are bright and snappy, and the humbucker snarls as advertised. I dont need to upgrade the pickups, can handle a range of tones. Great blues guitar.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Very glossy. Would have like a satin finish, but the gloss gives the grain great clarity. Smooth neck...glides easy. Very pretty guitar.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Perfect for all around playing, but I lowered it for fast light playing. Very touch responsive. Harmonics ring up and down the neck.
