More than 60 years of innovation, inspiration and evolution!

The American Professional II Stratocaster HSS embodies over 60 years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution—it's a guitar that meets the highest demands of modern musicians. Our popular Deep C neck profile is complemented by gently rounded fretboard edges, a Super-Natural satin finish, and a redesigned ergonomic heel that makes reaching the higher frets easier. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups produce a beautifully articulate sound with the signature warm, bell-like clarity you expect from a Strat. The DoubleTap™ bridge pickup contributes powerful humbucker tones. At the touch of a button, it can be split for calibrated single-coil sounds. An optimized 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block enhances sustain, brilliance, and sparkle in the high frequencies. The American Professional II Stratocaster HSS feels and sounds instantly familiar. It is extremely versatile in terms of sound and, with its profound improvements, sets a new standard for professional musical instruments.
