Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS – Candy Cola (Indian Laurel Fingerboard)

The Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS (Model #: 0266440571) is a versatile Strat-style solid-body electric guitar that blends classic Strat clarity with extra power from a bridge humbucker. Finished in rich Candy Cola, it delivers a wide tonal range suited for clean chord work, punchy rhythm playing, and higher-gain lead tones with strong presence and definition.

Its resonant poplar body with a durable gloss polyurethane finish provides balanced response and reliable performance for everyday playing. The comfortable Modern “C” maple neck features a smooth satin urethane finish for fast movement and relaxed fretting feel, while the Indian Laurel fingerboard with a 9.5" radius supports easy chording and confident bends. The Fender Standard ceramic pickups deliver clear output and strong attack, featuring a ceramic humbucker in the bridge for thicker, higher-output tones and ceramic single-coils in the middle and neck positions for crisp Strat articulation. A 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with satin chrome steel block saddles adds smooth vibrato performance and stable feel for expressive playing styles.
