Introducing the Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS Shawbucker, a top-of-the-line electric guitar that combines classic Stratocaster design with modern features. This model, made in the USA in 2017, features a powerful Shawbucker humbucking pickup in the bridge position, delivering a high-output, punchy tone perfect for rock and metal genres. The two V-Mod single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions provide the iconic Stratocaster clarity and articulation, making this guitar a versatile option for players of all styles. With a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a comfortable deep C-shaped profile, the American Professional Stratocaster is a joy to play, while the treble-bleed circuit ensures your tone remains clear when you lower the volume. The neck back has been stripped of its high-gloss finish to ensure quick and comfortable handling. It comes with the original Fender Elite molded case.
