HSS is two single coils and one humbucker. Hope this helps. Google is Fender friendly. 8) Mike

Some people like a heavier sound, usually the Rockers and the Humbuckers delivers the punch heard in most Hard Rock and Metal music. Some people do not like Humbuckers, especially in the Fender world because Fender's have traditionally been single coil guitars, especially in the early days.

I just use hum cancelling single coils and I can still get heavy tones when I gig with mine. Thru a mesa of course. But I don't play heavy as much as I play blues/classic rock.

HSS is delicious, especially with S-1 switching so that you can split the bridge humbucer if you want to.
