The Fender Select Stratocaster HSS features the "channel-bound" rosewood fingerboard, a Fender innovation in which the compound-radius fingerboard is "inlaid" into the neck. It's a stylish look and an amazingly comfortable fretting-hand feel in which both edges are pleasingly rounded, with no side seam between neck and fingerboard.The guitar also has a flame maple top, elegant hand-stained Tobacco Sunburst finish and hand-rubbed oil neck finish. Other premium features include Fender Select Stratocaster single-coil neck and middle pickups, a Twin Head humbucking bridge pickup, aged white control knobs, two-point synchronized tremolo bridge, Fender Select headstock medallion and more.
