How do I know what kind of Stratocaster I have?

What does SSS Stratocaster mean?

It is the configuration most commonly associated with the Stratocaster and has a bright but sometimes thin tone that can be susceptible to feedback when high-gain amp settings are used.
Is HSS the best Strat?
Although it may seem weird, it’s what some expect of a Stratocaster. So to sum it up, HSS is way more versatile and SSS is the classic simpler choice. HSS might be better for metal and hard rock due to having a humbucker. And the SSS is the classic option for country, blues, and funk.

How much is my Fender Stratocaster worth?
The easy answer is “it depends”, but that’s not very helpful. Without any more information other than the year, and without seeing/playing/evaluating it, I’d venture to suggest that it is probably worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 22-$ 25,000 USD.
