Fender’s Postmodern concept is to take a modern player’s instrument and dress it like a vintage favorite. With classic looks aside, under the hood, this instrument has been designed for maximum playability and tone. The fretboard is a 9.5” to 12” compound radius that eliminates any kind of fret buzz while bending notes, and the contoured heel allows easier access to those upper notes you want to bend. This “no buzz while bending” is taken even further with tall skinny frets that allow you to bend with ease. Fender’s 2016 Postmodern Stratocaster features hand wound Ancho Poblano pickups that will spice up you tone with extra bite, and fat round clarity. Fortunately, Fender has incorporated a volume control circuit that brightens the tone as the volume, or gain, is decreased. This allows the player to determine if the Strat sounds bright and vintage, or fat and hot by simply playing with the volume control. Fender also wound the middle pickup in a reverse wound/ reverse polarity configuration that makes positions 2 and 4 hum cancelling. If you consider yourself a modern player and want a guitar that retains that traditional look, this is the one to get. Buy it today. – Scott
