Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS, Dark Night RW

The American Professional Stratocaster HSS builds on more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration, and development. The result is a modern guitar that perfectly meets the needs of the discerning guitarist.

The popular Deep “C” neck feels exceptionally comfortable in the hand thanks to the rounded fretboard edges, the silky-smooth Super-Natural satin finish, and the redesigned heel construction, which offers effortless access to the highest positions on the neck.

Updated V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil pickups deliver greater definition and dynamics, while retaining the characteristic warm tone and sparkling “bell-like” clarity. The new V-Mod III humbucker in the bridge position produces powerful humbucker tones and switches to perfectly balanced single-coil sounds with the push of a button for maximum versatility.

The hardware has also been further refined. The improved 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel tremolo block provides more sustain, clarity, and sparkle in the high frequencies. The ClassicGear Precision potentiometers offer extremely smooth and precise control, with uniform resistance and a musical response across the entire control range. In addition, the ClassicGear Radial curved steel saddles allow for easy adjustment of intonation and string height, while the recessed trims stay comfortably out of the way, even with a vigorous playing style.

The American Professional Stratocaster HSS combines the familiar feel of a classic Strat with impressive tonal flexibility and numerous thoughtful improvements. The result is a professional instrument ready for any studio, stage, or practice session.
