With so many guitars to choose from and amps and effects to plug them into, the tone knob has inevitably become neglected. The Fender Greasebucket circuit will improve your experience with using a tone knob because it was designed to cut treble frequencies as you roll it back, rather than taking it away in addition to adding bass. This gives you a wider palette of sounds you can use with just the guitar, all of which being tasteful.Modern NeckThough this guitar takes off of a lot of vintage designs, there were a few refinements made to improve the reliability and tailor to the needs of guitarists in the now. The neck, in particular, is one of those features. It has a modern designed C shape profile for ultimate comfort, and the finish used is satin so you can move your hand around freely and easily, and it also gives the neck a more natural look.Texas Special PickupsThe Texas Special pickups covers all of your basic frequencies by giving them what we all want. The components used allow you to tighten up your bass, focus on your mid range, and give you crystal clear highs. This was achieved by the use of careful designing and over-winding the pickups for big sounding Texas-blues tones.The American Special Strat is extraordinarily authentic and comes at a surprisingly affordable price!
