Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS – Dark Night with Hard Shell Case
The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS in Dark Night: Iconic Style Meets Modern Performance
Enhanced playability with a modern deep “C” neck profile
This Stratocaster is built for comfort and speed. Featuring a modern deep “C” neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges, the American Professional II HSS invites your hand to stay connected. The rosewood fingerboard with narrow tall frets offers precision and clarity, perfect for players who want articulation without sacrificing that familiar Strat feel. A sculpted neck heel and satin-finished back further streamline access all the way to the upper frets.
Hybrid pickup configuration with wide tonal range
The HSS setup brings versatility front and center. At the bridge, the high-output V-Mod II DoubleTap humbucker delivers a muscular tone that can be split for crystalline single-coil tones. No harshness, just pure clarity. The neck and middle pickups are newly-voiced V-Mod II Strat single coils that maintain the sparkle and nuance Strat players love, now with refined articulation and reduced noise. It’s a setup that handles anything from pristine clean tones to saturated overdrive with grace.
Upgraded hardware for precision and stability
Anchoring the tone is the two-point synchronized tremolo bridge featuring a cold-rolled steel block, which offers greater sustain and tonal focus. The pop-in tremolo is super easy to take in and out if you don't need it. Whether you’re leaning into expressive bends or keeping it steady for subtle vibrato, the hardware is engineered to perform without compromise.
Thoughtful electronics for dynamic control
Beyond the pickups, the American Professional II HSS includes a push-push tone control to activate coil-splitting on the humbucker, giving players rapid access to bright, snappy single-coil tones. A treble bleed circuit keeps high frequencies intact when rolling back the volume, ensuring you stay articulate in any mix.
Striking aesthetics and solid construction
Finished in Fender’s head-turning Dark Night finish, the deep burst aesthetic shifts from black to a rich midnight blue, revealing the body’s contours under stage lights or studio glare. Paired with a black pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware, the look is timeless yet fresh. Built in Corona, California, this guitar reflects Fender’s ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and forward-thinking design.
