The American Professional II Stratocaster® HSS brings modern power and classic Fender feel together in one exceptional instrument. Featuring a bold-sounding humbucker in the bridge and refined V-Mod II single-coil pickups, it delivers a wide range of tones—from glassy cleans to thick, punchy overdrive. With premium hardware, a contoured neck heel, and rolled fingerboard edges, it’s built for players who demand versatility, comfort, and stage-ready performance.
The American Professional II Stratocaster® HSS draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player.
Our popular Deep “C” neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth, while the Double Tap™ bridge pickup delivers punchy humbucking tones as well as calibrated single-coil sounds at the push of a button. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.
The American Pro II Stratocaster HSS delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
