A new generation of Fender's USA Strat, with the improvements exactly where you need them. The saddle screws on the bridge are recessed, so your palm glides smoothly over the bridge when you palm mute, and the fretboard edges are rolled for a neck that sits comfortably in your hand. Three new V-Mod III single-coils deliver the classic Strat sound. Shown here in black with a maple fretboard.
- Push in the lower tone knob for two extra pickup combinations
- Upgraded tremolo
- Fender Deluxe Molded hard case included

Isn't it called the American Professional II?
In October 2026, Fender replaced the American Professional II with a new series simply called American Professional.
The bridge saddle edge
When you rest the edge of your hand on the bridge, it no longer meets the ends of the screws. The saddles are new ClassicGear Radial saddles made of bent steel with recessed height adjustment screws. They are mounted on an upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block, designed to provide longer sustain.
Two more combinations
The three V-Mod III single-coil pickups are positioned at the neck, middle, and bridge. Strat players originally found the in-between positions by balancing the three-way switch between two notches. In 1977, Fender gave them fixed positions with the five-way switch.
Here, the push/push on the lower tone knob provides two combinations in addition to the five. With the bridge switch, a push adds the neck pickup; in position 2, you get all three pickups together. Push again, and you're back to the five.
The neck
The Deep C is slim at the nut and gradually gets fuller toward the body. The fretboard edges are rounded, and the back of the neck has a satin finish. At the higher frets, the rounded heel and angled neck plate provide more room for your hand.
Questions and answers
What has changed from the American Professional II?
New V-Mod III pickups, an upgraded tremolo, saddles with recessed screws, and new potentiometers, so volume and tone change gradually all the way around. The Deep C neck, rounded fretboard edges, and push/push were already on the II.
What is the difference between SSS and HSS?
SSS has three single-coils. HSS has two single-coils and a humbucker at the bridge, which can be switched to single-coil mode with the lower tone knob. On the SSS, the same knob instead uses the neck pickup to provide two additional combinations.
Is it available for left-handed players?
Fender has announced a left-handed Stratocaster for spring 2027.
Does it come with a case or gig bag?
Yes, a Fender Deluxe Molded hardcase.
