2012 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS in 3-Colour Sunburst Electric Guitar, (Used, Comm)

The 2012 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS in 3-Colour Sunburst is a U.S.-built electric guitar that blends classic Strat style with more modern refinements. Its solid alder body is finished in a glossy urethane that gives it that familiar shine, while the bolt-on maple neck is shaped with a comfortable Modern “C” profile. The rosewood fingerboard carries 22 medium-jumbo frets and features a compound radius from 9.5" to 14", so it feels natural for chords down low but opens up nicely for bends and lead work higher up the neck.

In terms of sound, it’s equipped with a versatile HSS pickup setup. You get a Fender DH-1 humbucker in the bridge for thicker, punchier tones, balanced by two N3 Noiseless single-coils in the middle and neck for that classic Strat clarity without the usual hum. The control layout is familiar—master volume, two tone knobs, and a 5-way selector—but the addition of Fender’s S-1 switching system opens up extra pickup combinations, giving you more tonal options than a standard Strat.

The hardware is designed with stability and performance in mind. A 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge allows for smooth vibrato use, while locking tuners and an LSR roller nut help keep everything in tune, even with heavier tremolo work. Fender also included a contoured neck heel and Micro-Tilt adjustment, making it easier to access higher frets and fine-tune the setup. Overall, it’s a guitar built to feel familiar but with enough upgrades to suit more modern playing styles.
