#Fender subsonic stratocaster series#
This guitar plays and sounds great This guitar is comprised of the very hard to find American Series Subsonic Stratocaster neck on a USA Highway One Strat body. but then the string through allows for some great sustain, especially when the "cello" sound is being produced. Fender American Series SubSonic Baritone Stratocaster w/ Highway One Body 2002 Natural w/ Hard Case. The only think I would add to it if I could would be a trem. It is the sort of guitar than only gets used every few months but when it does get selected, you go: WOW glad we had this sitting around.įor me looking back it was a damn bargain at US$750, especially given the guitar had literally never been used, other than being tuned a couple of times. One exception is in a piano based jazzy number where the guitar actually sounds like a cello !!! In our recordings it has mainly been used for atmospheric rhythms and the occassional deep growlingpower chords. once you get your head around the tuning difference (easier for a guitarist than a keyboard player) you get some great sounds out of it. How does it play ? well it effectively is a longneck strat with thicker strings tuned B-B. it actually looked like a faded autumn burst. The photos below are actually the Ebay photos the guy used in the ebay auction and are exactly how the sunburst looks. why they think the tele version is better than the strat version. The subsonic came with a deluxe hard case and I think the CS version had two hambuckersĪ couple of years later Fender issue a CS tele baritone guitar. It has two single coils and a hambacker, which switches to a single coil when in the #2 pup selector position.įrom memory there were 3 colour available, Sunburst, black and a turquoise metallic blue.Ī year or so after I bought this, Fender dumped them and gave heaps of the turquiose finish ones to musician friend (in the states). The Am Deluxe Series version (which I have) is more like a build quality of the AV series guitars - truly superb. Id also say that the Subsonic Strat would be better than the Blacktop Tele, since the Strat is USA, while the Blacktop series is made in Mexico.
There was a CS version and a normal Am Deluxe Series version. Thread starter kchubbs Start date kchubbs Member. Sometime in 98, or 99 Fender released two versions of the Subsonic guitar, a longer scale (B-B) strat like 27" scale baritone guitar. heres the quick version of what i said in the video- bought this guitar for the neck.- the body is not an original subsonic body and will be for sale soon- t. something Fender produced and then forgot about it (a bit like the Bass VI) a strange, unknow, but yet brilliant beast. One-piece maple Fingerboard: Maple (9.Aaahhhh my subsonic. This is the kind of axe that handles 13-gauge strings with no problem. Because of its scale length, it's the perfect guitar to use if you're going for low tunings, like drop-C or lower. I think the real beauty of the Sub-Sonic is that you don't have to tune it like a baritone. Anyway I've read that Pete Loeffler of Chevelle collects these to record with, which makes sense because he plays live with a custom-made baritone PRS tuned A-A. I hunted for this for about two years before finding it. Since they weren't on the market long, the HSS model Sob-Sonic Strat in particular is very hard to find. These days only the Fender Sub-Sonic Telecaster lives on, it its very expensive Custom Shop Form. These were originally Fender Custom Shop Guitars, and they added a production model for a limited time for it fizzled due to a lack of general public interest. I have always strung this guitar with D'Addario 14-gauge baritone strings, and it is tuned in baritone A-A tuning. This guitar looks and plays like a Strat but has a longer scale - 27" - and is designed to be tuned to B baritone tuning, B-E-A-D-F#-B.
