Description
This used Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS in Candy Apple Red brings together classic Strat style with updated features for a modern player's experience. Made in the USA, this model offers the perfect balance of vintage tone and contemporary versatility. It sports a Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil set in the neck and middle for that signature Fender sparkle and bite, while the Atomic humbucker in the bridge adds power and edge when you need to push the amp. The Greasebucket tone circuit lets you roll off highs without adding muddiness, making this a highly playable, flexible Strat that covers everything from blues and country to hard rock.
The satin-finished maple neck has a modern "C" profile, a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard, and 22 jumbo frets, built for comfort, speed, and smooth bends. Whether you're gigging, recording, or rehearsing, this Strat is up for it. It shows meaningful signs of play, with wear on the body, neck, fretboard, and frets, but it plays clean and sounds exactly like a good Strat should: clear, responsive, and full of character. Professionally inspected and set up, this one's ready to go.
