2018 Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker – 3-Tone Sunburst w/ Hardshell Case

Exceptionally clean, all-original 2018 Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS in a timeless 3-Tone Sunburst finish. Crafted in Corona, California, the American Professional series is highly regarded for introducing modern player upgrades to Fender's iconic silhouette.

This specific HSS model offers incredible sonic versatility. The bridge features the acclaimed Shawbucker 1 humbucking pickup, meticulously designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw to deliver fat, high-output rock crunch without losing its distinct note definition. In the middle and neck positions, it is loaded with V-Mod single-coil pickups, which use a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types to give you those classic, glassy, and articulate Stratocaster tones.

The neck features Fender's modern "Deep C" profile—which provides a bit more shoulder and substance under your hand—paired with 22 narrow-tall frets for effortless string bending and precise intonation.
