With the volume control, you can adjust the overall loudness of your guitar signal to match your performance requirements. Two tone controls are equipped, allowing you to tweak the neck and middle pickups to find your desired output. What's more, with the five-way pickup selector switch, you can perform with different configurations for different sound textures. Whether you need crisp and clear leads or warm and rich rhythms, this Strat gives you the flexibility to switch to the sound you need.
Silky-smooth playability
At the core of making music lies a musician's connection with their instrument. Therefore, it's essential that an instrument is designed with comfort and performance in mind to fully maximize its potential. The '59 HT Stratocaster achieves this with its slim "D" neck profile and vintage-style compound radius fingerboard, which combine to create a smooth and effortless playing experience. Its slim profile ensures that your hand won't fatigue during long playing sessions, allowing you to focus solely on your music.
Additionally, the compound radius offers a gradual and natural-feeling taper, making it easier to switch between chords and solo work. Topping off this model is a silky-smooth satin lacquer finish, which provides a natural feel that further enhances your playing experience. This additional finish ensures that your fingers can slide between notes and chords without any friction or hesitation, so you can effortlessly achieve the sound and expression you're aiming for.
High-quality hardware for the ultimate performance
This classic Stratocaster cones equipped with a 6-saddle hardtail bridge, which offers numerous benefits to guitar players. Its patented saddle design provides increased tuning stability and improved tonal clarity, making it a great choice for performing musicians. Not only that, but it also offers an enhanced sustain thanks to the solid construction and secure attachment to the body of the guitar. Additionally, with the individual saddle adjustments, you can precisely adjust your string height adjustment, making it easier to achieve optimal playing performance.
