Description
The Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS Rosewood in 3-Color Sunburst marks a fresh chapter in Fender's modern professional lineup. You've seen the original American Professional, the American Professional II, and the American Professional Classic. This refreshed American Professional Series brings expanded versatility through its new V-Mod III humbucker, which can split to a calibrated single-coil voice at the push of a button. Tighter-tolerance controls and treble bleed help preserve clarity across the volume range, giving the HSS layout even more flexibility without sacrificing the feel and response players expect from a Stratocaster. It also includes a cold-rolled steel block for the two point trem with redesigned saddles that keep adjustment screws from protruding into the picking hand. With an HSS pickup configuration, rosewood fingerboard, and classic 3-Color Sunburst finish, this version is especially well suited to players who want traditional Strat sounds but need extra punch from the bridge position for rock, heavier rhythm work, and higher-gain lead tones.
The Deep "C" maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth, comfortable feel across long rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions. A sculpted neck heel improves access to the upper register, while 22 narrow tall frets provide a useful balance between familiar Fender feel and modern bending comfort. V-Mod III single-coils in the neck and middle retain the chime and warmth expected from a Strat, while the V-Mod III bridge humbucker adds a fuller, punchier voice and can provide calibrated single-coil sounds when needed.
The upgraded two-point synchronized tremolo combines a cold-rolled steel block with ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles for smooth pitch control and straightforward action and intonation adjustment. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment round out a dependable setup for working players. We think this HSS version is a particularly strong choice for guitarists who want the familiar feel of a Strat but need a broader range of sounds from one instrument.
