Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS adds a V-Mod III humbucker in the bridge to classic Strat single-coils, giving you thick, punchy humbucking tones and calibrated single-coil sounds in one US-made guitar.

A push-push tone control splits the bridge humbucker, so you can switch from full humbucker drive to true Strat chime without changing guitars. The two V-Mod III single-coils in the neck and middle keep the bell-like warmth a Strat is known for, and ClassicGear Precision potentiometers give smooth, consistent control.

The Deep “C” neck has smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish on the back and a sculpted heel for easy upper-fret access, with 22 narrow-tall frets and a bone nut. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles adds sustain and tuning stability. It ships in a Deluxe Molded hardshell case.
