DISC-Fender American Standard Strat HSS Shawbucker, Bordeaux Metallic

Full Description

Unrivalled Tone and Quality

For the purest and most powerful HSS sound Fender have enlisted acclaimed humbucking pickup guru Tim Shaw to create a brand-new bridge pickup of unrivalled tone and quality. Shaw's expertise dates far back to his work with the first and biggest names in the history of humbucking pickup design, and the result of his efforts is the innovative "Shawbucker" humbucking pickup.

Greater Openness and Brilliance

Shaw's handiwork makes the American Standard Stratocaster® HSS Shawbucker a formidable new instrument for guitarists who want the ultimate in modern humbucking tone. The American Standard is made even more forceful by the added innovation of a dual 250K/500K volume potentiometer, which optimizes the tonality of each pickup switch setting by automatically running the Shawbucker bridge pickup at 500K for greater openness and brilliance, while the neck and middle pickups run at 250K for spine tingling single-coil sparkle.
