Description
Preloved Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS – 3-Colour Sunburst (2018)
Serial: US18103945 | With Original Hard Case
Here’s a chance to grab a high-spec modern Strat that’s built for players who want traditional Fender feel with premium flexibility. This 2018 Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS in 3-Colour Sunburst blends the classic Strat silhouette with contemporary refinements — all wrapped up in a versatile HSS pickup configuration.
With a compound-radius fretboard, locking tuners, and a fast Modern "C to D" neck profile, it’s one of the most comfortable and performance-ready Strats Fender has made. The Shawbucker humbucker in the bridge delivers punch and power for rock tones, while the noiseless single coils retain that glassy Strat character in the neck and middle positions. The S-1 switch gives you even more tonal versatility with series/parallel options.
This piece is in good used condition overall, rated 8/10. There’s one noticeable chip/scratch in the paint near the input jack (on the bottom edge of the body), plus some light surface scuffs and wear from normal play on the neck. There’s also minor fret wear, but nothing that currently requires dressing — just the kind of honest use you'd expect from a well-enjoyed Strat. Includes the original Fender hard case.
