The Guitar that Changed the World
There may not be a model of solidbody electric guitar that is more ingrained in modern culture than the Fender Stratocaster. Its finely sculpted body, ground-breaking tremolo design, and clear-as-a-bell pickups (no matter what combination) come together in an instrument that is embraced by players in every genre of music around the world. This American Professional HH Stratocaster is the direct descendent of all of those iconic guitars. And it boasts all of the same features, playability, and versatility that defines the Fender Stratocaster.
Balanced, vintage-voiced electronics
A great Strat should be crystal-clear sounding, enhance you playing nuance, and be able to get gritty and aggressive when needed. Pickup guru Tim Shaw designed this duet of Shawbucker humbucking pickups to do just that. The Shawbucker humbucker in the bridge provides plenty of muscle when you need it, while the Shawbucker in the neck is warm and clear sounding. This pickup setup is fantastic for classic rock, blues, and even jazz styles. And the onboard treble bleed circuit ensures your tone stays clear and present when lowering the guitar's volume.
Custom Shop-influenced neck
The Deep-C neck profile that you'll find on the Fender American Professional HH Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar is a slight upgrade from the Fender American neck players have been in love with for years. By adding a touch more roundness to the back contour, the Deep-C carve fills your hand perfectly while never inhibiting your technique. And your fingers will immediately notice how much control they have on the fretboard's narrow-tall frets. For good reason, this fret wire is the most requested size at the Fender Custom Shop.
Fender American 2-point tremolo
A Fender Strat wouldn't be a Fender Strat without the non-locking tremolo design that turned the world on its ear in the early 1950s. The American Professional HH Stratocaster boasts an updated take on that design that meets the needs of today's players. Its 2-point construction makes action adjustments a breeze, while providing plenty of stability. And the pop-in arm mechanism is extremely convenient, holds the tremolo arm from having too much play, and allows you to adjust the tension on the arm.
