Its HSS pickup layout combines the familiar clarity of Strat-style single-coils with the fuller output of a bridge humbucker. This makes it a practical choice for players who need one guitar to cover clean rhythm work, articulate lead tones, and higher-gain sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn alder Stratocaster body provides the classic contoured shape associated with this design, while the gloss polyester finish gives the instrument a polished exterior. The maple neck uses a Modern \"C\" profile, designed for a comfortable and familiar fretting-hand feel. Its satin urethane neck-back finish is paired with a gloss urethane finish on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maple fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius, rolled edges, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and black dot position markers. This specification set supports conventional chord work as well as string bending across the neck. A 25.5-inch scale length and 1.650-inch synthetic-bone nut retain the standard Fender playing format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayer Series Alnico 5 Strat single-coils occupy the neck and middle positions, while a Player Series Alnico 2 humbucker is fitted at the bridge. The five-position blade switch selects bridge, bridge-and-middle, middle, middle-and-neck, and neck pickup settings. Master volume and separate tone controls for the neck\/middle and bridge pickups provide direct onboard adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA two-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles gives the guitar pitch-modulation capability, and Fender ClassicGear tuning machines support routine tuning adjustments. It ships strung with Fender USA 250L nickel-plated steel strings in .009-.042 gauges. A compatible hardshell case or FE1225 electric guitar gig bag is recommended by Fender but is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSS Pickup Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines two single-coils with a bridge humbucker for varied electric-guitar voices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlder Stratocaster Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the contoured solid-body platform for this specific Hialeah Yellow model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModern \"C\" Maple Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a familiar neck profile with a satin-finished back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRolled Maple Fingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a 9.5-inch radius, rolled edges, and 22 medium-jumbo frets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive-Position Blade Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selects five pickup combinations from bridge through neck positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Point Tremolo:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds expressive pitch control through bent steel saddles and a standard tremolo arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guitar uses an alder solid body, maple bolt-on neck, maple fingerboard, nickel\/chrome hardware, and a 3-ply parchment pickguard.
