Can I get a review/opinion on this guitar?

Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar | GuitarCenter

I fantastic... I mean its a fender fat strat, probably the most versital guitar ever made.

My problem with them is I LOVE the single coil bridge pickup. I really feel like unless you need to play metal often go with sss. I use 2 p90s in my strat as a compromise, because the humbcker just throws away all note clarity and strat vibe. I would consider a Stacked single or blade humbucker that would fit in a sss strat pickgaurd. That way if you ever want to change you dont have to go buying a new pickguard.

I'm the exact opposite. I think a bridge singlecoil is ALWAYS too bright. I like em in the neck for bluesy stuff but in the bridge, nope, not happening.

I know what you mean sometimes it can get out of control, but if if you plan on using it alot you must eq a bit differently. So much of the honk and twang in blues music especially hendrix is from that bridge pickup alone though. Also when your using something like a Big Muff thats super heavy fuzz the bridge pickup is your best friend. To me its like a Les Paul into a Marshall, A fender into a fender using a fuzz on bridge. Its just a magical sound.

So many hendrix/trower/stevie songs are played on the bridge alone. As long as your signal is boosted so it doesnt sound weak.


Most of this song is on the bridge through a fender twin. Gotta love that tone.
