Overview

Reimagine your Stratocaster with the bold, dynamic voice of the Saturday Night Special.

The Fender Player Series Saturday Night Special Stratocaster HSS Limited-Edition electric guitar provides musicians a modern take on a classic. Featuring a gloss polyester alder body and maple neck with 22 medium-jumbo frets, this Stratocaster is designed for fast, smooth playing across its 9.5" radius fingerboard. The Saturday Night Special Strat comes with a trio of custom pickups. The overwound Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special Custom Staggered single-coil pickups redefine the classic Strat tone with fat, punchy chords and searing lead tones. These custom Seymour Duncan pickups are available for the first time in single coils and exclusive to this guitar. A custom humbucker in the bridge rounds out the tone you can expect from an HSS strat.

Versatile Sound Across All Styles

The Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special Custom Staggered pickup delivers a dynamic, powerful tone that stands out in thick arrangements. The staggered pole pieces provide balanced output across all six strings for crystal clarity. Alnico 4 magnets ensure a harmonious, melodious overdrive, ideal for genres like rock and metal. The Saturday Night Special humbucker in the bridge spot guarantees the rich, robust sound characteristic of humbuckers. Whether you're aiming for country twang, jazz fusion or hard rock leads, a simple adjustment of the tone control or pickup selector allows this Strat to navigate a wide spectrum of sounds.

A Neck Built for Speed and Comfort

The guitar features a Modern C-shaped maple neck, meticulously designed with ergonomically contoured edges and a silky finish that accommodates a wide array of playing techniques. The fingerboard boasts a 9.5" radius, presenting a comfortable and familiar playing surface that will instantly appeal to many guitarists, catering to both traditional and modern styles.

Rock-Solid Tremolo Enhances Your Performance

The updated two-point tremolo system offers a smoother feel and enhanced tuning stability. With less friction against the bridge posts, you'll experience improved playability and pitch that stays true during the most intricate solos or ambient swells.

Premium Components and Timeless Style

Master volume and tone controls provide tonal versatility. A 5-way pickup switch lets you activate different pickup combinations with the flip of a switch. The iconic 3-ply pickguard and synthetic finish in Daytona Blue complete the package with classic Fender style. For a Stratocaster that delivers modern sound and premium components with timeless Fender style, the Saturday Night Special Stratocaster HSS is a compelling choice.
