Be sure to cut through the mix, thanks to a trio of Fender's Texas Special single coils. Used in any one of the five possible switch positions, the pickups give you classic Fender tones that have been with us since the dawn of the Strat®. But these pickups have a little something extra that sets the American Special Strat apart from previous Strat incarnations. A Greasebucket tone circuit and vintage-style tremolo round out the features on this beauty.

Greasebucket tone control rolls off highs without affecting volume
Fender has fitted their American Special Stratocaster with their Greasebucket tone control, which rolls off highs without adding bass or affecting your volume. This is seriously cool, because it gives you explicit control over your tone onstage without you having to compensate for volume loss, making the American Special Strat a serious tone machine.
