Great guitar! Great service from Adorama! I will definitely shop with them again!

Adorama is Great!

Another interesting bit of tech added to a fine instrument gives this guitar a path to go down that you wouldn't have taken.  I've wanted a higher end Strat, and this was a great deal and I'm more than happy with it.

Nice guitar and a great price from Adorama!!!

Strats away

The American Special strat is one of Fenders best bang for the buck guitars - IF the price is right.  This is a great deal at $700 but at the current price of ($) - not really.  The quality of MIM strats has improved to the point where they are a better buy unless you are stepping up to a Fender Pro series guitar.  This HSS strat is a quality instrument but will still need a better humbucker and a set of staggered locking tuners to complete the package.  The Texas Special singles are outstanding but I found the Atomic humbucker to be meh - it's a perfectly capable balanced pickup but just does not have the punch and bite to go with the Texas Specials.  The locking tuners are mandatory, if you are even thinking about floating that vibrato bridge.  The neck is a fat "C", which is still pretty slim compared to a typical Les Paul neck.  Weight is relatively light - in the seven to eight pound zone.

Excellent guitar if the price is right ....

I was uncertain about the American Special line in general and the HSS specifically, but couldn't pass the Adorama deal. I'm glad I didn't. This has become my favorite guitar.

American Special Stratocaster HSS

This guitar arrived quickly, factory sealed and came out of the box feeling amazing.

The wood grain in the body is matched very well and the overall feel of the guitar with it's satin finish neck is A+.

I love Adorama's great service and prices. I recommend everyone check this place out. Adorama is fantastic to deal with.

American Special HSS maple neck sunburst... what a great guitar.

I bought this guitar to supplement the 60's Fender Mustang that I own.  I'm very happy with the quality and sound of the instrument given the price.  I am only a hobbyist so you may want put more weight on a pro's recommendation if you plan to buy.

Nice guitar

Great tone. But, man the thing is HEAVY!!!  A nice feel and I like the Frankenstein build of different eras.

Great tone, but heavy.

This was a great deal when the price was dropped just before the holidays so I ordered it. The Fender Classic Player Stratocaster HH is a beautiful guitar. The bound neck is stunning and something I'd like to see on other high end Fender guitars. 

After receiving the guitar I sent some time doing a set up on it. The bridge was too high. Once the bridge was lowered the strings needed adjustment and intonation needed adjustment. 

After making adjustment I plugged her in and in a matter of minutes decided I didn't care for the pickups. I felt I was going to have that issue prior to ordering the guitar. I'm not a hug fan of humbucking pickups. As I didn't like the sound of the guitar I passed it along to a student and made their Christmas, they love it.

So don't pass on this because of my dislike of humbuckers. The guitar is very well built. It is stunning with the bound neck. The fit and finish is classic Fender perfection (unlike Gibson). What's not to like if you're a fan of humbuckers?

Another great Fender, but not for me.

This took over as my new favorite. I have a USA made PRS and this is even better. Love it.

New Favorite guitar

The price was great, delivery exceptional, and the guitar is awesome.

Best gift ever!

Guitar is well made and has a great neck profile.  The split coil switch makes the guitar very versatile.

Nice Guitar

Plays great, sounds as a strat should.. smooth neck with no frets feeling as you play.  Great finish

great buy and at a reasonable price for a Fender

I've got several USA made Fenders within the past few years and this Limited edition despite being a Mexican Strat has all the great characters of a US made fender and even more.
From the finish to the electronics are made with great precision.
The qualitynif Mexican Fenders has greatly improved within the last few years and they are as good as American ones.
Adorama did a great job in shipping it fast but it could've been packed better, overall a great Exprience. Thank you Adorama for great sales...

Gorgeous Fender Strat...

Great guitar, different tones than a strat, nut duper versatile and amazing build quality.  You'll wonder why anyone pays the American strat price tag.  There were some shipping delays in California, but everything arrived in great shape.  Thanks for the killer price Adorama!

Great guitar for a great price.

Plays well. The N3 pups sound a bit compressed compared to am std.

Good guitar

thank you fro the unbelievable strat and deal

unbelievable strat and deal

The American Fender Strat arrived promptly and was safely packed. Beautiful condition - not a mark or blemish to be found. It has nice action and plays like butter. I am impressed. Top quality.

Quality Above All

This guitar has good quality pickups for a strat that wasn't made in America.  The price is a bit high for a guitar made outside of the USA, but it is designed well and looks pretty good.  I would recommend it, especially if you can get it on sale.

Nice Pickups for a Mexican Strat

Purchased this guitar from adorama when they had a sale and I am really happy with it! The neck feels great and I love the binding! The WRH create a unique sound for a stratocaster! Will paint pickguard white, I'm not in love with the dark look.

Great purchase!

I'm very pleased with this guitar. Setup was fine out of the box, The only adjustment I made was tightening the claw screws to have the 2 point vibrato plate sit flush on the top. Fit and finish are as good as I've seen on Strats mfg in Japan or the USA. The frets are well dressed, no sharp edges anywhere. Fretboard binding and matching headstock are nice touches and the guitar feels, sounds, and looks fantastic.

I'm very pleased with this guitar

People are complaining about the personality cards. To be honest, I haven't tried the other ones besides the standard one that's in there. Just has that classic strat sound. I was able to find this on Slickdeals.com for ($). So yea. I'm pretty stoked with my purchase

Great guitar. Classic strat.

This guitar plays amazingly well. I love the versatility it offers with the different style chips you can plug into the back.  Adorama had an amazing price that I couldn't pass up.  Shipping was fast.  Buy it, you won't regret it.

Love this guitar!

High-quality construction, excellent guitar.

Great deal on an American-made guitar

i like this guitar's sound, it is professional

good to use

Awesome guitar.  Action came a little high so I'm still tweaking on that.  Haven't bothered with the personality cards cuz it sounds and plays fantastic.  I've never played a high quality instrument for long periods of time before, so I'm really appreciating this after +10 years of crooked necks and muddy pups.   Two things I didn't know about the strategy style...  you will hit your pic on the middle pup and your hand on the volume knob.  I've gotten used to it after just a week...  stupid complaint but it might bother some more than me.  The 3 pups give a very wide array of different sounds, and I'd I chose to mess with the cards, there'd be more.  Kinda looks gimmicky...  and it is.  And the plastic cover will break long before anything else does.  The paint color is why this is such a low price...  it's a boring color but is color worth 500 bucks to you?

If you've never owned a quality guitar...

If you want a basic strat just leave the card in the guitar.
Comes with a nice guitar case
For $799 its a no brainer babyyyyy it it before they are gone

Whats not too like?

Good Price, Good Condition, fast Delivery

Highly Recommended

What is not to love? A great Fender Strat at a great price. Quality all around, beautiful guitar, great case. Paired it with the Fender Mustang III v2 amp. Very happy with both.  

Highly recommend to all.

I was looking at an SG or a Les Paul, but after hearing the Fender Humbucker sound decided to take a chance on this guitar and am glad I did it.  Apart from being an absolutely great looking and unique guitar, it plays great, stays in tune well, and has been built with an eye on quality.
