Fender introduces its new Fender Select series, designed as “select instruments for select individuals.”

The Fender Select Stratocaster features a Dark Cherry Burst gloss-lacquer finish on a flame maple-top body. Its “C” shaped flame maple neck has a contoured heel, Bi-Flex truss rod system, a satin lacquer back finish and rear-headstock “Fender Select” medallion. The compound radius flame maple fretboard (9.5”-14”) has 22 medium jumbo frets, black pearloid position inlays and a gloss lacquer finish. The sound comes from new Fender Select Stratocaster single-coil neck, middle and bridge pickups with five-way switching and a no-load tone control designed to deliver the natural uncolored sound of the bridge pickup when dimed. Other features include a three-ply pickguard (parchment-black-parchment), two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style bent steel saddles, staggered cast/sealed locking tuners and nickel-chrome hardware.

 

The Fender Select Stratocaster HSS shares the same features, with several exceptions: It takes the same elements as its triple-single-coil brother and amps it up with the extra power of a Fender Select Stratocaster humbucking bridge pickup and an Antique Burst gloss-lacquer finish, modern “C” shaped birdseye maple neck, and compound radius rosewood fretboard (9.5”-14”) with white pearloid position inlays.

The sound comes from new Fender Select Telecaster single-coil neck and bridge pickups with three-way switching and a no-load tone control designed to deliver the natural uncolored sound of the bridge pickup when dimed. Other features include a three-ply pickguard (parchment-black-parchment), knurled chrome knobs, American Telecaster bridge with new American Standard bent steel saddles and stamped brass plate, staggered cast/sealed locking tuners and nickel-chrome hardware.
