Fender Standard HSS Stratocaster – Review & Demo


Check out the Fender Standard HSS Stratocaster: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-standard-stratocaster-hss-maple-neck-in-arctic-white

In this video, Sam takes a look at the Fender Standard HSS Stratocaster, a great value, genuine Strat with a humbucker pickup at the bridge for extra bite and grunt…perfect for rock guitarists!

Made in the Fender Mexico factory, the Standard HSS Strat offers classic Fender specs and styling, but at a fraction of the price of it’s USA made big brother. Specifications include an Alder body, bolt-on Maple neck, vintage style synchronised tremolo, high quality sealed tuners, 25.5″ scale length and Fender Standard pickups (2x single coil and 1x humbucker).

Take a quick look and listen, and make sure to check one out at your local Professional Music Technology.

  • fuc* yes. had this model for 13 years and i feel while not rare i dont see the HSS ALL thats often and now i know what i have. i love the humbucker at the bridge with two single coils, cmon best of both worlds. the middle pick up with the right amp setting can sound like a traditional bridge SCP

  • Hi Sam just wanted to say you always show great detail weather it’s your guitars and also your amps and sound effects pedal. Keep up with your great work mate. Thanks.

  • Anyone knows the specs of the Fender Standard pickups? I know the singles have ceramic magnets. Is it the same for the humbucker? Thanks to anyone who knows.

  • Just got mine today and I can't find a single flaw. Sounds great on my little fender amp but I have the new Engl Powerball amp also coming today. This is my first Stratocaster and I'm loving the sound. Love the humbucker in love the middle and neck together. Again, quality is epic. Perfect setup. Now I need to go out and buy locking tuners. Update. Mine is a newer model 2020. It has the vintage upgrades as a professional model.

  • It's almost as if these guys forget the guitar has a humbucker because you never hear anything heavier demoed in these hss reviews. Its pretty much funk and rhythm all the time

  • How much is it? Is it same with American standard? Or is it just 'Standard Strat HSS'? Sorry if for the silly question, I want to order it!

  • I just wandered into a 2nd & Charles bookstore…and lo and behold…THEY SELL GUITARS THERE!!! WHO KNEW??? I sure didn’t! I picked up a used black Fender HSS Stratocaster! They wanted $450 but I got it down to $350 (rust on some of the screws). The previous owner didn’t take care of it. I gave it a good home. I would have preferred a white one but it’ll do!

  • I've had this guitar over 5 years now. Easy to play and my go to guitar. The tone you get from this guitar is amazing. I like to use the Humbucker for my rock tone.

  • i have the same one. i even swapped the bridge for a shawbucker humbucker, but it still souds kind of weak. is that the amp that is the problem then?

  • Great review but I have a question which is better for rock playing does it make a difference or should I get a Stratocaster with an rosewood fretboard?

  • Great vid. Nice guitar

    What is in the background? Beautiful lighting ? Is it spotlights or something? It makes the video look great

  • Man great demo so good, you just sold me I need a light semi versatile classic rock machine that's easy to play and with that Bassbreaker amp will be #2 on my list, thanks Sam! I hope that artic white is an off white though it looks that way.

  • Ideally I would like to have two guitars, one with a single coil in the bridge and another with the humbucker in the bridge so I have options, however, i'm a bit strapped for cash so this isnt possible.

    I came across the squier vintage modified HSS (humbucker in the bridge a single coil in the middle and one in the neck)

    My question is, with this guitar, Can I still get the single coil bridge sound and also the humbucker bridge sound from this guitar? or is it strictly a humbucker sound in the bridge and I still have to get another guitar if I want that single coil bridge sound?

  • I have this exact guitar. Fender “MIM” standard Stratocaster HSS, except mine is Brown Sunburst, maple neck. Love it. Great guitar. Much better than my old crappy Chinese Squier.

  • Just bought a used mim hss w too hot rails in neck n mid…locking tuners steel trem block….440 bucks….first strat….any suggestions on replacement humbucker??

  • Hi Sam, many thanks for your review and demo. I found it to the point, in terms of getting straight to the specs. of the HSS, and informative (sonically, as well as informationally). So few reviewers do this well, and I really appreciate your presentation. I have subscribed to PMTVUK based on your video.

  • Is the electronics set up like the Shawbucker American model where the bridge pickup ohms change when used in conjunction with the single coils?

    Reply
  • Fab guitar. Look at that trem arm dangling though. Don’t know they don’t include the spring loading !!

  • Yo compre una sss y no me acostumbro a estética hss, y juego heavy metal. Me gusta las sencillas recogidas. Todas sirven para cualquier estilo, no existen reglas para jugar Metal!!!
