About the Fender American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker
The American Elite Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker pairs a Shawbucker open-coil humbucker in the bridge with two fourth-generation Noiseless single coils in the middle and neck. The S-1 button on the volume knob changes the wiring for 10 pickup combinations, all three pickups in series among them. The push-push Passing Lane button between the tone knobs sends the Shawbucker straight to the output jack, and while it is on, neither the volume knob nor the tone knobs have any effect. Beyond those, the controls are a master volume, a neck tone, a tone for the middle and bridge pickups and a five-way switch.
The body is alder in gloss polyurethane. The maple neck has a satin back, a modern C to D compound profile, a 9.5 to 14 inch compound radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 25.5 inch scale and a 1.685 inch (42.8 mm) nut, with a maple, rosewood or streaked ebony board. It has locking short-post tuners, a two-point tremolo with a copper-infused bridge plate and a truss rod wheel at the heel. Weighed examples come in at about 7.8 to 8.5 lb (3.5 to 3.9 kg), most between 8.1 and 8.4 lb. It comes in the Elite molded case with TSA locks, with the pop-in arm, strap locks and a strap. Owners often swap the factory strap locks for Dunlop or Schaller ones, and some have changed the pickups or rewired or removed the S-1 system. Colors include Olympic Pearl, 3-Color Sunburst, Autumn Blaze Metallic and Ocean Turquoise. It is out of production.
