Description
The Stratocaster has been the template for electric guitar tone since 1954, and this American Professional HSS ShawBucker version takes that blueprint and sharpens it for modern players. Finished in Antique Olive with a maple neck, it pairs old-school feel with genuinely useful updates under the hood.
- Pickup lineup: A ShawBucker humbucker sits at the bridge for thick, high-output tone, while two V-Mod single-coils handle the middle and neck positions — each voiced individually with a specific alnico magnet blend so you get vintage warmth with modern clarity.
- Neck feel: The Deep C profile splits the difference between a Modern C and a U shape, giving your hand more to grip without feeling clubby. Narrow-tall frets make string bends land accurately and keep chords intonated cleanly all the way up the neck.
- Electronics: A treble-bleed circuit on the master volume keeps your highs intact even as you roll the volume down — no more muddy tone at lower settings.
- Hardware: The redesigned pop-in tremolo arm locks into place under aggressive playing and lets you dial in your preferred arm tension. A bone nut, 2-point synchronized tremolo, and Fender’s standard sealed tuners round out the build.
- Included: Ships in Fender’s Elite Molded hardshell case, with TSA-approved latches and a stacking-friendly shape for storage or travel.
Whether you’re chasing classic Strat chime or need extra grit from the bridge pickup, this guitar covers a wider tonal range than a standard three single-coil setup, without losing what makes a Strat feel like a Strat.
