Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Black

The Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS is a modern take on one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, pairing classic Strat feel with added punch and versatility. Finished in gloss Black with a matching black pickguard, this 2024 Indonesia-made Standard Series Strat delivers timeless Fender style with a more aggressive HSS pickup layout that is equally at home with clean tones, blues, rock, and heavier gain.

Built with a poplar body and a comfortable Modern C maple neck, this Strat feels fast, familiar, and easy to play. The Indian Laurel fingerboard adds a warm, smooth response under the fingers, while the 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets make bends easy and comfortable. Fender's Standard ceramic single-coils in the neck and middle deliver the classic Strat sparkle and snap, while the bridge humbucker adds extra output, warmth, and thickness when you need more muscle.

The 2-point tremolo bridge offers smoother feel and better tuning stability than vintage 6-screw designs, and the sealed Fender tuners keep everything stable and reliable. Whether you're after glassy cleans, punchy rhythm tones, or heavier lead sounds, this HSS Strat covers a lot of ground without losing that unmistakable Fender feel.
