Description
The Fender American Professional Stratocaster Rosewood in Black 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 a number of meaningful under-the-hood updates, including tighter-tolerance electronics with treble bleed to retain clarity as the volume is rolled back. Its upgraded 2-point tremolo uses a cold-rolled steel block for added sustain and definition, while redesigned saddles keep adjustment screws from protruding into the picking hand. The Black finish, mint pickguard, and aged white plastics give this version a familiar vintage-leaning appearance, while the playability and hardware are aimed squarely at players who need a dependable Strat for regular live and studio work.
The Deep "C" maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth feel that stays comfortable through long sets and sessions. A sculpted heel makes upper-fret access easier, while 22 narrow tall frets provide a useful middle ground between traditional Fender feel and modern lead playability. The V-Mod III single-coils retain the clarity and chime players expect from a Strat while offering an articulate response that works well with clean tones, pedals, and overdriven amps.
The two-point synchronized tremolo uses a cold-rolled steel block and ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles to provide smooth operation, strong sustain, and straightforward setup adjustment. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment round out a practical hardware package designed for players who need consistency night after night. We think this Black version is a great fit for anyone who wants a classic-looking Strat with the refined feel and reliability of a current professional instrument.
