The Fender Tex-Mex HSS Stratocaster is an electric guitar model known for its versatile tone. Equipped with a HSS pickup configuration, it features a Tex-Mex single-coil pickup set, delivering classic Fender spank and twang. The bridge pickup is a powerful Tex-Mex humbucker, adding extra punch and sustain. The alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard ensure excellent playability and resonance. With its iconic Stratocaster design and a combination of single-coil and humbucker tones, the Tex-Mex HSS is a favored choice for players seeking a guitar capable of handling various musical styles. This model was made in 1996, and was the precurser to the Jimmie Vaughan signature model that came out the following year.
