Tones for the pros
They'll blow you away. The pickup combination loaded into this guitar gives you unrivalled sonic potential. With a humbucker in the bridge and single coils in the middle and neck positions, you'll be able to get any sound you want. The humbucker is perfect for tight, high output tones – especially on crunchy settings. It'll give your riffs a solid, powerful voicing with plenty of bite and character, whilst delivering warm vintage tones too.
The neck single coil pickup offers a superbly fat, fluid sound which will give your notes a rich, textured voicing. Clean settings will sound beautifully bright, clear, and punchy, whilst turning the gain up will make those notes sing with saturation and sustain. Then there's the middle position pickup – it has a perfectly balanced sound for the ultimate dynamism. With these pickups pumping out pure tone, you're set for a stellar playing experience.
Roasted to perfection
The perfect fit. Boasting a 'Deep C' shaped profile, the FSR American Pro Stratocaster will feel unbelievably comfortable in your hands. Made from roasted maple, and coming with a satin urethane finish, it feels incredibly smooth to the touch. This means your hand will skim along it like a bird across water. You'll feel totally free when changing between fret positions, and improvising will come completely naturally. With such power at your fingertips, who knows what inspirational musical ideas may come to you.
More maple
What could be better than maple? Making up the fretboard of this fine, finessed guitar, it provides a bold, bright resonance which pushes notes to their fullest potential. Your fingers will find it easy to dance along its surface, given its smoothness and unrivalled feel. You'll only know the satisfaction this fretboard brings once you've started crafting music on its beautifully crafted frets.
A rare treasure
It's special in its own right. But the fact that this American pro Stratocaster HSS is limited edition makes it even more special. It's not often that guitars of such quality and capability come along – it's a real beauty. With a two-point synchronised tremolo, you can add some superb vibrato to your music whenever you like. You can also be sure that this guitar will hold its tuning with ease – it's perfect for live shows and tours. That being said, it's stunning daphne blue finish and pristine looks means it could also be framed and hung on a wall. This is one guitar you simply don’t want to miss.
