Texas Special™ Pickups: Fender’s best-selling set of pickups for over a decade; used by many high-profile artists due to their fat, overwound sound.

Satin Neck Back: For smooth, effortless sliding up and down the neck—no “catching” or “sticking.”22 Frets: Extra fret allows last note to be bent one full step to complete the second octave on

the fretboard. Jumbo frets and a 9.5” fretboard radius for comfort and ease of playing.

gloss Urethane Finish: Beautiful and durable, it allows superior flexion and resonance, allowing the wood to vibrate for improved tone.

Atomic™ Bridge Pickup: The addition of the roaring humbucking bridge pickup to the Strat® hSS gives you the best of both worlds—the output and crunch of a humbucking pickup and the sparkle of our Texas Special™ single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. “Maximum versatility” says it all.

high-Mass Bridge Saddles: The vintage-correct “brass bar” bridge saddles provide that sought-after, iconic tone full of the ringing output and snap that makes the Telecaster® famous.
