In order to create the purest and most powerful HSS Stratocaster sound, Fender enlisted acclaimed humbucking pickup guru Tim Shaw. The result is a cutting-edge humbucking bridge pickup of unrivaled tone and quality.
The Shawbucker Strat is made even more forceful with a dual 250K/500K volume potentiometer. The innovative pot addition 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.
At the instrument's core, the Shawbucker Strat offers a high-quality American Standard alder body with gloss finish, and a smooth-playing modern C-shape neck with a satin finish.
This Ocean Blue Metallic model is loaded with Fat ’50s pickups in the middle and neck positions to complement the roaring Shawbucker bridge pickup.
Along with all the other great American Standard Stratocaster HSS features players already love, it's truly a thrill to play. Get your hands on the American Standard Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker and experience its raw, powerful sound for yourself.
