DISC Fender Custom Shop Postmodern HSS Stratocaster, Aged Black #1737

Full Description

Alder Body

The Fender Custom Shop Postmodern HSS Stratocaster features a two-piece select alder body that produces a resonant and balanced tone with plenty of clarity and body. Fender have used Alder as their tonewood of choice for electric guitars since the 1950's as the balanced response and slight upper middle definition makes it perfect for rock and blues playing. This lightweight alder body wears a Lush Closet Classic finish, simulating the look of a guitar that’s been on the road for years.

Neck & Fingerboard

As well as offering a lightweight body, this Postmodern Strat also features a quartersawn AA flame maple neck with a ’63 Strat “C”-shaped profile, for added authenticity and comfort. Designed for flexible playing, the 9.5"-12" compound radius AAA rosewood fingerboard is curved for easy chord playing near the nut, flattening out for playing smoking leads without fear of fretting out during bends.

HSS Pickup Configuration

The Fender Custom Shop Postmodern HSS Stratocaster offers a versatile performance with its HSS pickup configuration. Featuring a humbucking bridge pickup, along with two single coil pickups, players can achieve that classic Strat vibe and sound. In addition, dual 250k/500k volume pots ensure a smooth transition when switching between single-coil and humbucking pickups.

Real Bone Nut

The Fender Custom Shop HSS Strat also features a real bone nut, which maintains its classic appearance. The benefit of a real bone nut compared to modern materials is that bone offers an excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
