Fender FSR American Special Stratocaster Aztec Gold 2017

Here for sale we have a Fender FSR American Special Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Aztec Gold finish with a matching headstock. Made in the USA in 2017, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 fret Maple fingerboard. Nickel​/​Chrome hardware is fitted including Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo bridge and Fender Standard Sealed tuning machines. A trio of Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat single-coil pickups are installed, and are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck tone and bridge tone controls. Both tone controls feature Fender's Greasebucket Tone Circuit, which rolls off highs without adding bass. The Maple neck plays very well, with Fender's popular Modern 'C' profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial yet articulate grip across the register. The Maple fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, with its lacquered finish providing a smooth and durable playing surface right the way up to the 22nd fret. Its 9.5" radius is practical for both chordal and melodic playing; balanced perfectly between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and solos. The Jumbo frets provide a rock-solid feel under the fingers whilst enhancing the feel of string bending and vibrato techniques, as well as reducing the pressure needed to fret a note for a speedier playing neck. The trio of Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat single-coil pickups deliver warm, vintage-inspired tones, perfect for bluesy riffing and SRV style licks. Indeed, these are the same pickups you will find in the Custom Shop SRV Stratocaster. Enamel-coated wire, alnico V magnets and staggered pole-pieces work in conjunction with a reverse-wound middle pickup and overwound output for a seriously warm, hot and well balanced output, with a midrange bite, crystalline highs and tight bass response. Fender's Greasebucket tone circuit eliminates the issue of adding bass when rolling down your tone control; simply dialling back the top end without beefing up your lows. Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
