A Fat Strat is a name for a design of electric guitars that is based on the Fender Stratocaster, but with a humbucker at the bridge position instead, while still retaining other characteristics of Stratocaster, such as a 21/22-fret fretboard and a synchronized tremolo bridge. Like "superstrat", the term is commonly used to denote any electric guitar in this style with or without an association to Fender, though even Fender recognized such arrangement and had produced their own Fat Strats. “Stratocaster†redirects here. ...

Fat Strat and Double Fat Strat usually refer to the more conventional terms Strat HSS (or HH, if the guitar is equipped with a pair of humbuckers). A fine example is the American Deluxe Strat HSS (also known as American Deluxe Fat Strat), featuring a pair of Fender Hot SCN single-coils (neck/middle) and a DH-1 humbucking pickup in the bridge position. This guitar came with a deluxe 2-point vibrato bridge with a pop-in arm, although Fender offered the model with a Fender Deluxe Locking synchronized tremolo bridge from 1998 to 2007.

Due to the fact that the only changes on a Fat Strat is having a humbucker in bridge position, it is typically different from a superstrat, which may only share the "Strat" in the shape of a Strat-like body. Fat Strat is still a Strat, with having 2 single-coil pickups at neck and middle position in addition to the bridge humbucker, and its the tone is identical to its Strat equivalent, save for the bridge and perhaps bridge-middle position (which, depend on the wiring, may either have two single coil, or one single coil and humbucker). The "fat" derive from the fact that humbucker produce extra gains, which could be needed when playing lead.
Like the definition of superstrat, it is often questionable whether additional modification, such as having a 2-octave fretboard, a Floyd Rose tremolo or other similar features, would make it into a superstrat or still a Fat Strat. However, having two humbuckers or more will generally render it a superstrat.
