When one guitar needs to cover shimmering cleans, familiar Stratocaster snap, and the authority of heavier tones without sacrificing the feel that made the design a standard, the Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS offers a compelling solution. Drawing on more than seventy years of Stratocaster evolution, this American-made model takes the familiar alder-body platform and develops it around the needs of today's working guitarist. Its dramatic Dark Night finish, black pickguard and controls, rosewood fingerboard, and nickel/chrome hardware give the guitar a sleek modern identity.

The Deep C maple neck preserves the comfortable familiarity of a Strat while introducing refinements intended for long sessions and demanding performances. Rolled fingerboard edges and Fender's Super-Natural satin urethane neck finish contribute to a smooth, played-in feel, while the sculpted heel improves access to the upper register. Twenty-two Narrow Tall frets provide an inviting platform for expressive bends and precise lead work. At the bridge, Fender's upgraded two-point synchronized tremolo combines ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles with a cold-rolled steel block, providing expressive vibrato while emphasizing sustain, clarity, and the lively response associated with a great Stratocaster.

Its HSS electronics are where this American Professional becomes especially adaptable. V-Mod III single-coils in the neck and middle positions retain the chime, warmth, clarity, and distinctive combination sounds players expect from a Strat, while the V-Mod III bridge humbucker adds the punch and weight needed for heavier rhythm and lead tones. A push-push tone control coil-splits the bridge humbucker for additional single-coil textures, allowing the guitar to move comfortably through blues, rock, pop, funk, country, alternative, and higher-gain styles. Rather than changing what a Stratocaster is, the American Professional HSS expands what one can accomplish when a single instrument has to handle an entire set. Available at Haggerty’s Music, this guitar ships with a sturdy hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
