The American Professional Stratocaster HSS combines over seventy years of Fender design evolution with modern player–focused refinements. This HSS configuration pairs two V–Mod III single–coil pickups with a V–Mod III humbucker that includes push–button coil–splitting, expanding tonal range from glassy Strat chime to thick, punchy humbucking tones. The rosewood fingerboard features smooth rolled edges and sits on a Deep C–profile neck with a newly sculpted heel that provides comfortable upper–register access.
The upgraded 2–point tremolo employs a cold–rolled steel block to increase sustain, clarity and high–end response. ClassicGear Precision potentiometers deliver consistent control with custom torque and musical taper. ClassicGear Radial bent–steel saddles feature recessed adjustment screws that simplify intonation and action setup while staying clear of aggressive playing styles. The neck's Super–Natural satin finish reduces drag during position changes, and the 3–Color Sunburst gloss polyurethane body finish delivers classic Fender aesthetics with modern durability.
