American fat strat texas special review. The american fat strat texas special comes equipped with a seymour duncan pearly gates plus humbucker in the bridge position and two custom staggered texas special single coils in the neck and middle. Basically it was a usa standard strat with a sd pearly gates and 2 texas specials. Also they introduced the staggered tuning machines and eliminated a string. To my ears they have a classic strat tone with a little more output but not overly so.

This is the absolute best guitar i have ever played much less owned. 2 texas special single coils and a duncan pearly gates humbucker pickup. In 2000 they changed the name to the american series fat strat texas special. This guitar infuses a healthy dose of snarl into the mix with features including two texas special single coil pickups and one seymour duncan pearly gates plus humbucker five way switching and two point synchronized tremolo.

Hi it looks like what fender was calling the american series fat strat texas special or something like that it was the american series stratocaster with a different pickup set. To call it a guitar does not give it justice it is an instrument. It features an alder body on most models ash bodies on sienna sunburst and white blonde finishes hss texas special strat pickups and a maple neck with either a maple or rosewood fretboar. As stated custom shop texas specials are different from the texas specials that come stock with the amer.

But the spanky rude sound on heavy attack neck position only comes from the texas specials. I ordered an american fat strat texas special after some serious consideration and i kicked myself for not getting one sooner. The noiseless feature of the areas is really incredible and they sound excellent with the middle position being a great surprise. I recently switched to a loaded pick guard with the atomic hb in the bridge and texas specials in middle and neck.

They upgraded all the usa guitars with necks that had rolled edges to feel more comfortable and broken in. Produced from 2000 to 2003 the american fat strat texas special was part of fender s hot rodded series. I have a strat with texas specials and one with the dimarzio area pre wired guard. Fender s own take on the new american special instruments is that they are value conscious guitars for the times designed specifically to bring the full fender stratocaster experience of a terrific sounding smooth playing rock solid built us made guitar to the working man without emptying his bank account well if anyone can fulfil that promise it s fender the american specials.

I love that sound.
