    HSS Stratocaster is Japanese design original to the Fender design in Japan. American designers missed that boat USA Fender must give credit when credit is due and Japan finished the Strat by adding a humbucker to a near perfect guitar already. This guitar proves there’s always room for improvement!

    Look at what Leo Fender did with his pickup and the bolt on neck! Wow the best two things on the guitars he made and then he seen the rest follow his lead but Leo Fender was a humble fellow never making waves only hard at work making our lives better with live music! Leo Fender played but not the guitars he made and that is why Leo Fender is King of Guitars because he contributed more to making others happy and he never even play his own guitars.

      Mr/miss/Mrs pinkiewerewolf you once left a comment on my channel - my first comment. Someone keeps blocking my comments on gotd. All I was trying to do was comment on the damn guitar and tell people about my song 'get well soon Norm'' that I have written to promote donating to the midnight mission. I thought it would be what norm wanted but it is censorship. How do you highlight the mission for people to donate if norms blocks you. If you know how to get the message out or know anybody who does cos I am not allowed to comment apparently...I say give people the choice. #get well soon Norm. ? the Cat..
