Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS Maple in Black w/Case - 0111122706

Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS w/Case

A performance-focused Fender built around V-Mod III HSS pickups, coil-split switching and an upgraded 2-point tremolo, with an alder body and a maple fretboard

Engineered as a versatile professional instrument, the Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS integrates an alder body with a maple neck and maple fretboard. Its 25.5" (648 mm) scale, Deep "C" profile and 22 narrow tall frets support a familiar, controlled feel, while the model-specific electronics and hardware are designed to deliver Strat chime alongside punchier humbucker drive and split-coil flexibility. The result is a versatile American-made instrument intended for regular rehearsal, recording and live use.

Features

The neck specification features a Deep "C" maple neck with rolled fretboard edges and Fender's satin urethane treatment on the back. The sculpted neck heel improves access toward the upper frets, while the 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 22 narrow tall frets and bone nut give the instrument a consistent, performance-minded playing surface.

The core amplified voice comes from two V-Mod III single-coil Strat pickups and a V-Mod III bridge humbucker. The humbucker adds punch, while the push-push tone control engages coil-splitting for calibrated single-coil sounds.

The bridge and control hardware add another layer of refinement: an upgraded 2-point synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block, pop-in arm and ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles, supporting smooth adjustment along with added sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.

Smooth, repeatable control comes from ClassicGear Precision potentiometers, another working-player detail in the build. For transport and storage, a Fender Deluxe Molded Case is included.
