You are on Fender's site, so go to their products page and check out the specs for all the guitars you are interested in buying. The primary difference in most of the Fender models you listed is the pickups. Your best bet is to go to a store that is a licsensed Fender dealer and try out all of them and figure out which one feels and sounds the best.

HSS refers to the pickup configuration. H=Humbucking, S=Single coil. So your variations are SSS-the standard original 3 single coil configuration. HSS Humbucker(bridge) and 2 single coils. Then there are variations HH, HSH. Just shorthand. The terms like Highway1(HW!) or Classic refer to specific model, and you can look those up on the products page on this very site.

Cheers

+1 on this advise.

Pablogon,

And welcome to the forum. Let us know what you decide on. Make sure to play them with an amp, without an amp, amp clean, and amp dirty to hear all the tones you can get, and the ones you do not want to get.

What kinds of music do you want to play, how much you want to spend, what will be your primary amp / play-space should also be taken into consideration.

And in this picker's opinion, you must recieve good vibes from the specific instrument.
