American Professional Stratocaster - A Great Guitar

It is not often that I treat myself to something special, but this seemed to be the right time and guitar to do it. I started playing guitar again last year after a 50 year break and I was amazed at how quickly my playing has improved. I never ever had or played a guitar this nice before, it sounds great and plays well. It is everything I expected it to be.

Nice guitar, poorly set up.

Very nice guitar, but it was poorly set up and does not match "factory default" neck reliefs, action heights, and bridge gap. Maybe it has something to do with it being "open-box" model.

Great guitar, great service

Fender has really stepped up the Professional Series. The Shawbucker is great, vintage sounding, lower output pickup. Humbuckers will never be balanced with single coils, but if you are used to using the volume and tone controls (as you should be), you will find it very comfortable. Highly recommended.

American Professional Stratocaster - A Great Guitar

By ROBERT J.

It is not often that I treat myself to something special, but this seemed to be the right time and guitar to do it.

The Evolution Of A Revolution
Often copied, but never surpassed, the Stratocaster is arguably the world's most-loved electric guitar. Electrifying the music world since its release in 1954, its natural, versatile sound made the Stratocaster the benchmark for exceptional guitar tones. The American Professional Stratocaster HSS ShawBucker isn't a re-imagining of the classic design; it's the authentic original model, evolved.

• Two Tim Shaw-designed V-Mod single-coil Stratocaster pickups (neck/middle); one ShawBucker humbucking pickup (bridge)
• New modern "Deep C"-shaped neck profile
• Bone nut; 22 narrow-tall frets for easier bending
• Pop-in tremolo arm for enhanced stability
• Treble bleed circuit maintains highs when reducing volume
• Includes Elite Molded hardshell case

V-Mod Pickups
Mixing alnico magnet types to produce tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA, V-Mod pickups (and the redesigned ShawBucker humbucking pickups) are voiced specifically for each position, bringing out the nuances of your playing.

New "Deep C" Neck Profile
Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional "Deep C" neck profile sports more substantial shoulders. The increased mass and altered geometry creates a more natural feel that's perfect for chord and single-note playing alike.

NARROW -TALL FRETS
Narrow-tall frets are taller and narrower than their medium jumbo cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes and playing chords up the neck with perfect intonation.

Pop-In Tremolo Arm
The new pop-in tremolo arm securely stays in position, no matter how hard you play. The arm tension can also be adjusted for a perfectly dialed-in feel that matches any player's preference.

Treble-Bleed Circuit
The treble-bleed circuit maintains the high end when turning down the volume knob to reduce gain, letting your tone shine through, no matter where the instrument's volume is set.

Bone Nut
An original-era Fender design element, a bone nut contributes to superior tone and performance. Many players consider bone nuts to be more "organic" sounding.
