That double-cutaway contoured body, that bolt-on maple neck, that 5-way switch — it all just works. But sometimes two single-coils in the bridge position aren't quite enough, and that's exactly where the HSS configuration earns its keep. Drop a humbucker in the bridge, keep the classic single-coils up front, and suddenly the same guitar that chimes through a clean amp can also grind through a driven one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 2017 Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS, Made in Mexico, in Antique White with a maple fingerboard. The serial number MX17828191 places it squarely in the final year of Fender's long-running Standard Series before the Player Series took over — a well-regarded chapter in the MIM Strat story. It comes with a gig bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a used guitar. It's been played and it shows some honest character, but it's been fully set up by our licensed tech before going out the door. If you've been looking for a versatile, road-proven Stratocaster at a used price, this one's worth a close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has a some marks and play wear noted on back, light tarnish on the chrome, minor play wear throughout the guitar. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Body and Neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is solid alder — the same wood Fender has leaned on for decades for its balanced tone across the frequency range. It wears a gloss polyester finish in Antique White, which gives it a subtly warm, off-white look that photographs beautifully and ages gracefully. The contoured edges are the classic Strat comfort shape you'd expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is maple with a Modern \"C\" profile — not too thick, not too thin, comfortable for both rhythm playing and lead work. The maple fingerboard is finished in gloss on the playing surface with a satin finish on the back of the neck, so it's fast but not sticky. You get 21 medium jumbo frets on a 9.5\" radius fingerboard, a nut width of 1.650\", and a 25.5\" scale length. Fender's classic skunk stripe runs down the back of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickups and Electronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HSS layout puts a Standard humbucking pickup in the bridge position, paired with two Standard ceramic single-coil Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions. The 5-position blade switch gives you full humbucker, front coil of bridge and middle, middle alone, middle and neck, and neck alone — enough tonal variation to cover a wide range of styles without overthinking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eControls are master volume, Tone 1 for the neck\/middle pickups, and Tone 2 for the bridge pickup. Chrome hardware throughout, with shielded body cavities to keep noise down. The parchment pickguard and control knobs are a tasteful period detail from this era of MIM production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar uses a 2-point synchronized tremolo with a high-mass bridge block and satin chrome steel block saddles. The high-mass block was a meaningful upgrade Fender made to the Standard Series in 2006 and kept through the end of production — players consistently found it improved sustain and overall feel compared to the earlier lighter blocks. The tremolo arm (whammy bar) allows for pitch dips and vibrato in the classic Stratocaster tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Solid alder with gloss polyester finish in Antique White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple, Modern \"C\" profile, satin back finish with gloss fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Maple, 9.5\" radius, 21 medium jumbo frets, 25.5\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1.650\" (42mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Standard Humbucking (bridge), Standard Single-Coil Strat (middle), Standard Single-Coil Strat (neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: 5-position blade switch for HSS tonal versatility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 2-point synchronized tremolo with high-mass block and satin chrome steel saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome throughout; shielded body cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: '70s-style CBS logo; parchment pickguard and control knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Mexico, 2017; Serial Number MX17828191\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes gig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Stratocaster HSS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-0144702580\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
