A Super Strat is a guitar based on the Fender Stratocaster or strat for short, but which has extra features, usually in order to update the original design (which is obviously limited due the strat's 1954 introduction). Such updates as Double-Locking Floyd Rose tremolos, Humbucking Pickups, and different body woods are used to improve the playability, looks, and sound of the classic stratocaster design.
