Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS
The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS combines timeless Stratocaster style with modern performance upgrades, creating an instrument built to excel on stage, in the studio and everywhere in between. Crafted in the USA, this versatile guitar offers the perfect blend of classic Fender character and contemporary flexibility.
Designed for exceptional comfort, the popular Deep "C" neck profile features rolled fingerboard edges, a smooth satin finish and a sculpted neck heel, providing a natural feel and effortless access to the upper frets. The 22 narrow-tall frets and bone nut further enhance playability, making bends, vibrato and intricate lead work feel smooth and precise.
The HSS pickup configuration delivers an impressive range of sounds. Two V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil pickups provide the iconic chime, clarity and warmth associated with classic Strat tones, while the V-Mod III humbucking bridge pickup adds powerful output, rich sustain and punchy rock-ready performance. A push-button coil-split function expands the tonal palette even further, offering convincing single-coil-style bridge sounds when required.
An upgraded two-point synchronised tremolo system features a cold-rolled steel block for enhanced sustain, improved clarity and sparkling high-end response. Combined with ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles, players benefit from precise intonation and effortless setup adjustments without protruding screws getting in the way.
Premium ClassicGear Precision potentiometers provide smooth, consistent control over volume and tone, ensuring reliable performance whether you're performing live or recording in the studio.
With its outstanding comfort, professional-grade construction and remarkable tonal versatility, the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS sets a new benchmark for the modern working guitarist.
