The Fender American Professional Stratocaster guitars, introduced in December 2016 to 2020, represented the next evolution of Fender's iconic instrument. This series replaced the Fender American Standard Series Stratocaster.

Equipped with newly designed V-Mod single-coil pickups, the American Professional Stratocaster delivers classic Stratocaster tone with a modern twist. These pickups are voiced specifically for each position, offering enhanced clarity and dynamic response.

Featuring a "Deep C" neck profile and narrow-tall frets, the American Professional Stratocaster provides a comfortable playing experience and effortless bending. The treble bleed circuit ensures that your high frequencies are preserved even when rolling back the volume knob, maintaining clarity and definition at any volume.

Classic hardware, including a two-point synchronized tremolo bridge and a bone nut, ensures reliable tuning stability and smooth tremolo action. The American Professional Stratocaster is available in a variety of finishes, allowing players to choose a guitar that matches their personal style.

Whether you're a professional musician or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the Fender American Professional Stratocaster is a versatile instrument that's ready to meet the demands of any musical situation. This series was replaced by the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster series from October 2020 onwards.
