Headstock & Tuning Machines

The headstock is home to the tuners—geared mechanisms that hold the strings in place. The iconic Strat headstock features an inline design with all six tuners to one side. Swap yours out for vintage replica or locking models in gold, black, nickel and more.

Neck

The neck is a long piece of wood that extends from the body. It contains a metal or graphite truss rod to prevent bowing and twisting. Find the most comfortable fit for your Strat with neck profiles in C-, V- or U-shape designations, with a range of fingerboard variations for each.

Pickguard

Usually made of ABS plastic, the pickguard prevents the pick from scratching the body and, for the majority of Strat models, serves as a mounting point for electronics and a way to conceal routing and wiring. Shop variations, including white, mint green, tortoiseshell, metallics and more.

Pickups

The most iconic Strat pickup configuration is three single coils—known as SSS—featuring alnico magnets for classic bell tones with clarity and snap. Check out a variety of single-coil and humbucker combos to find the perfect blend of tonal versatility and aesthetics for your Strat.

Bridge & Tremolo Bar

Electric guitars have either a fixed or tremolo (a.k.a., whammy or vibrato) bridge. Tremolo bridges feature an arm that allows players to bend the pitch for a vibrato effect. Shop different bridges, covers, blocks, springs and arms—including ones with the classic Strat white tip.

Controls

A pickup selector or “blade” switch allows you to choose between pickups or blend them. Most guitars also have controls for volume and tone. Dial in the exact vibe of your Strat with custom knobs to suit any finish, available in cream with gold lettering, black with white, and more.

Strap Buttons & Strap Locks

Strap buttons are an anchor point for a guitar strap. A strap secures the guitar while standing or sitting, alleviating stress on the arm and shoulder muscles. Customize the look and functionality with a range of Strat buttons, blocks and locks.
