It's truly a back-to-the-future sort of ordeal with the Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS! Assembling with a seamlessly stellar blend of vintage Fender charm and modern Fender sensibilities, this entry to the American Professional Classic series hits all the highs for a fully 3D American Fender experience.

With Fender's American-made American Professional Classic series, we encounter a number of established Fender standards that receive a welcomed new take. No matter what part you're checking out, you're sure to find something familiar and invigorating. The American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS kicks this all off with a double-cutaway alder body. Treated to a high-gloss finish and a faded Sherwood Green Metallic color, this American Professional Classic entry takes on that vintage-inspired "It" factor with a fresh aesthetic option.

From here, the 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 maneuvers similarly to recent Fender American series releases. This neck joins with a rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets for a fretting experience offering both space and precision in equal measure. The board's 9.5" radius makes for a flatter, more modern feel on the fingers.

For its sound, the American Professional Classic Strat HSS takes on a revised vision of Stratocaster tonality. New Coastline '57 Single-Coil Stratocaster pickups land in the neck and middle positions for a vintage-inspired sound with sparkle, clarity, and warmth as prominent characteristics. The middle position's single-coil features a reverse-wound, reverse polarity wiring that introduces some variance to the overall tonal palette. In the bridge position, a Coastline Humbucker pickup lands for chunky, punchy tone in the style of classic humbuckers. On board, Fender's Greasebucket tone circuit system retains signal clarity even when volume and tone are adjusted.

Wrapping this all up, the American Professional Classic Strat HSS features a lineup of smooth hardware specifications. The American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS begins with a six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge. A classic in its own right, this bridge enables all the great vibrato bends we've to expect alongside a synthetic bone nut and set of staggered ClassicGear tuning machines at the headstock. This American Professional Classic Strat HSS comes with a Fender deluxe gig bag.

A fresh take on many classic Fender specs, this American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS delivers on every level you could need for the iconic American instrument.
