Fender FSR Black Paisley Stratocaster HSS 2012 Electric Guitar

This is a Fender FSR Black Paisley Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar in Black Paisley finish. Made in Mexico in 2012, this guitar consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 21-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo bridge, Fender Standard sealed tuners, and a HSS pickup configuration. These pickups are wired to a master volume, tone 1, tone 2, and a 5-way pickup selector.

The Maple neck plays very well, with Fender’s popular Modern ‘C’ profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial grip when chord playing, yet remaining slim enough for fast articulate playing. The Rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth and durable playing surface, and with its 9.5” radius is well suited to lead lines and string bending. This paired with the Medium Jumbo frets ensures a playing experience which is perfect for the more technical Strat player. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck is pleasant to the touch and ensures that navigation of the 25.5” scale length is an absolute breeze.

The pickups in this guitar offer a great versatile sound, they produce a mixture of sparkly tones with a hint of a darker undertones, whilst retaining clarity with each note. The Fender Standard humbucker in the bridge provides a full driving mid range with the best natural harmonic overtones, and a top end that produces a crunchy edge. The Fender Standard single-coil in the middle position produces a smooth single coil sound with more output and more mids, providing bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The Fender Standard single-coil in the neck position provides a warm, rounded sound, offering a smooth tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones.
