Lightweight alder body with fully shielded body cavities
Like
most contemporary Strats, the Fat Strat features a lightweight,
"comfort contoured" alder body which has actually changed very little
since the first Strats rolled off the production lines in 1954. However,
this new version has shielded body cavities for quieter operation and
reduced hum, which is particularly important with single-coil pickups -
they sound great but could get a bit noisy at times.

Vintage Style tremolo with high mass bridge block
While
there's no denying the fact that Leo Fender's guitar designs were an
amazing blend of art and engineering, it was the erroneously named
synchronized tremolo (it's actually a vibrato) that may well have been
his most inspired bit of engineering. With it you could bend notes or
even entire chords up or down without throwing the guitar out of tune.
Even though Fender has continued to improve upon the tremolo, many
players simply prefer the look and feel of the original. In the Fat
Strat®, there's also a high mass bridge block for improved sustain and overall tone.

Two standard single coil pickups (neck and middle) with bridge Humbucker™
The Stratocaster®
was the first production line guitar with three pickups, and that basic
configuration is just as popular today as it was in 1954. While the Fat
Strat has three pickups, only two are the original single-coil design.
By adding a humbucking pickup with coil tapping in the bridge position,
Fender has added some slightly more aggressive sounds to the Strat's
sonic arsenal.

Maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with modern "C" shape and satin polyester finish
Leo
Fender wasn't a guitar player. In fact, he got his start repairing
radios. So he had no idea that guitars weren't supposed to have maple
necks. In time, those blond maple necks became a Fender trademark. This
Fat Strat has a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, which can deliver a
little extra warmth. In keeping with contemporary tastes, this Strat
has the modern "C" shape maple neck with a satin polyester finish.

Includes deluxe padded gig bag
To
protect your Fat Strat, and keep it looking new for many years, Fender
has included a nicely padded gig bag at no extra charge.
