Fender American Professional Stratocaster Black Rosewood Fingerboard (2026)

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster draws on the classic design of the Stratocaster with the benefit of modern appointments. This makes it an incredibly reliable professional instrument for both stage and studio. The trio of V-Mod III Stratocaster pickups deliver phenomenal articulation with the classic chime and warmth Strats are famous for. A push-push tone pot adds the neck pickup in any position, adding even more tonal options with lightning-fast switching.

An upgraded 2-point Tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block ensures the guitar delivers even more sustain, clarity and sparkle while allowing for expressive bends and vibrato. The Deep "C" shaped neck with its rolled fingerboard edges, "Super-Natural" satin finish and neck heel carve ensures a fast and comfortable playing experience all the way up the neck.

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster is the kind of guitar you can depend on night after night and session after session to deliver classic and inspiring tones with true Fender style. This Black finish is a perfect choice for players seeking the classic look while enjoying all the benefits of a modern instrument.

Features We Love:

Advanced Control

A push-push switch on the tone control activates the neck pickup in any position, allowing for combinations and tones not usually available on a Strat. Requiring only a push to switch on or off it makes it effortless to switch mid-performance. In addition, the ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers have been designed to feature a smooth custom torque and precise resistance - perfect for players who rely on adjusting their tone and volume while performing!

V-Mod III Pickups

The new V-Mod III pickups showcase Fender's decades of experience and expertise in making pickups, delivering more articulation, with the famed bell-like chime and warmth Stratocasters are famous for.

Deep "C" Neck

The Deep "C" neck is designed for comfort and playability, offering fuller shoulders and a slightly thicker feel towards the high frets compared to a Modern "C" profile. Smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a "Super-Natural" satin finish ensures the neck is extremely in the hand and effortless to move around on. The classic 9.5" Radius will feel familiar to most players, while the Narrow Tall frets feel great under the fingers and excel for bends. A newly sculpted neck heel allows for excellent access to all 22 frets.
