Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard Black

The American Professional Stratocaster® HSS draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.

Our popular Deep "C" neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth, while the new V-Mod III humbucker pickup delivers punchy humbucking tones as well as calibrated single-coil sounds at the push of a button. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle, while ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance. Engineered for the working player, the new ClassicGear™ Radial™ bent-steel saddles deliver effortless intonation and action adjustments — with recessed screws that stay out of your way, no matter how hard you play.

The American Pro Stratocaster HSS delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
