Fender American Professional Stratocaster

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster is a US-made Strat built for working players, pairing three V-Mod III single-coil pickups with a Deep “C” neck that feels right from the first fret to the last.

The neck has smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish on the back and a sculpted heel for easy upper-fret access, plus 22 narrow-tall frets and a bone nut for clean bends. The V-Mod III pickups keep the bell-like chime and warmth a Strat is known for, with more articulation, and ClassicGear Precision potentiometers give smooth, consistent control. A push-push tone control adds the neck pickup for extra combinations beyond the 5-way switch.

An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block adds sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle, and ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles help keep intonation and tuning steady. It ships in a Deluxe Molded hardshell case.
