Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar, 3-Color Sunburst

It's an all-new vintage vision with the Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS! Coming together with a vividly vivacious version of vintage Fender charm and modern Fender sensibilities, this entry to the American Professional Classic series nails it on every level for a fully realized American Fender experience.

With Fender's American-made American Professional Classic series, we're brought a number of established Fender specs that receive fresh, new takes. No matter what compels you about a Fender, you're sure to find something both familiar and exciting. The American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS kicks off with a double-cutaway alder body. Treated to a high-gloss finish and a faded burst color, this American Professional Classic entry takes on that certain je nais se quois with a fresh, vintage look.

At this point, this model welcomes a satin-finished maple neck in a Modern "C" profile. This Modern "C" neck falls into a familiar, modern Fender feel as it connects in hand similarly to recent Fender American series releases. This neck fills out to a fingerboard bearing twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets for a fretting experience offering both spaciousness and precision in equal measure. The fingerboard's 9.5" radius makes for a flatter, more modern feel on the fingers.

For its formidable voice, the American Professional Classic Strat HSS takes on a revitalized vision of Stratocaster tonality. New Coastline '57 Single-Coil Stratocaster pickups appear in the neck and middle positions for a vintage-inspired sound with warmth, clarity, and sparkle as crucial characteristics. The middle position's single-coil features a reverse-wound, reverse polarity wiring that introduces some variance to the overall sound. In the bridge position, this American Professional Classic brings in a Coastline Humbucker for that all-important humbucking kick. On board, Fender's Greasebucket tone circuit retains signal clarity even when volume and tone are shaped.

Topping this model off, the American Professional Classic Strat HSS features a lineup of smooth hardware specs. The American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS kicks off with a six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge. A classic on its own, this bridge enables all the great vibrato bends we've come to know along with a synthetic bone nut and a set of staggered ClassicGear tuning machines at the headstock. This American Professional Classic Strat HSS travels with a Fender deluxe gig bag.

An excitingly fresh take on many classic Fender features, this American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS hits all the right notes for the iconic American instrument.
