Fender has put up a new website section on fender.com dedicated to the all new American Special line of Fender guitars. The line consist of a Stratocaster, a Stratocaster HHS, and a Telecaster targeted at the mid-range of the market.

All three guitars come with alder bodies finished in gloss urethane, modern C-shaped maple necks (9.5″ radius,) 22 jumbo frets, ’70s-style oversized headstock decals, and Texas Special singlecoil pickups (with the HSS Strat sporting an Atomic humbucker at the bridge.)

 

They also feature Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit, allowing you to roll off the high-end with out adding copious amounts of bass (a really nice feature IMHO.)

 

Other features of the line-up will include an old-school string-through-body bridge with three brass saddles on the American Special Telecaster (the guitar comes in your choice of Olympic White or Three-color Sunburst.)
