The American Professional Stratocaster® HSS is the product of over seventy years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution, designed to meet the needs of the modern professional player.

Our acclaimed Deep "C" neck profile features rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish, and a sculpted neck heel to provide exceptional comfort and easy access to the upper registers. The new V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil pickups deliver superior definition while retaining the instrument's signature bell-like sparkle and warmth, while the new V-Mod III humbucker provides punchy humbucking tones—and, with the flip of a switch, perfectly balanced single-coil sounds. The two-point tremolo bridge, upgraded with a cold-rolled steel block, enhances sustain, clarity, and high-end shimmer; ClassicGear™ tuners offer smooth, consistent control with calibrated resistance and linear response for reliable, effortless performance. Designed for the professional player, the new bent-steel saddles make intonation and action adjustments simple, thanks to recessed screws that stay out of the way of your picking hand, no matter how hard you play.

The American Professional Stratocaster HSS offers an instantly familiar feel and sonic versatility you can sense from the very first note, thanks to a host of refinements that set a new standard for professional-grade instruments. Features
