No lefties. Never any lefties. Mod Shop is our only option, at least that option exists.

There are two variants of noiseless Strat single-coils: vintage and hot, with the latter being specially calibrated for a proper balance with the humbucking Double Tap pickup in the bridge position.

S-1 switch has been reconfigured on both SSS and HSS Strats.

SSS: adds the neck pickup on all positions from the 5-way selector
HSS: cuts the front coil from the Double Tap humbucker for single coil tonality while the treble-bleed circuit keeps the high frequencies consistent at any volume.

It's not the first time Fender offers a Strat with tapered body contours.

Oh,that’s lovely! It can’t be an easy thing to update a product that was so fantastic in the first place, and especially when a large part of the customer base is a bit resistant to change, but I for one deeply appreciate Fender’s continuing efforts to further improve and modernise their products. This new product line looks to be right up my alley.


Perhaps a matching Jaguar will surface in the future - who cares?
