Often copied, but never surpassed, the Stratocaster is arguably the world's most-loved electric guitar. Electrifying the music world since its debut in 1954, its natural, versatile sound made the Stratocaster the benchmark for exceptional guitar tones. The American Professional Stratocaster isn't a re-imagining of the classic design; it's the authentic original model, evolved.

The electronics is what makes this stratocaster unique. The controls feature a Master volume which doubles as a S1bypass push switch. The master tone switch is a 6 way rotary which enables 6 very distinct tones, the high end sounding much like a humbucker in the bridge. This phenomenal Strat houses a hidden secret - a special V6 rotary tone switch and onboard preamp. This gives the Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster a huge tonal palette to draw from. It offers six different settings ranging from wiry single-coil tones to searing leads. The V6 switch replaces the middle tone, so it's easy to switch on the fly. A built-in S-1 switch on the volume knob lets you bypass the V6 onboard preamp completely for pure, unadulterated Strat tones.

The guitar includes the Fender Deluxe Gig Bag.

BLISTERING HSH STRAT® PERFORMANCE The Standard Stratocaster HSH takes the already-blistering Standard Stratocaster HH model and supercharges it even more with the addition of a Standard Stratocaster single-coil pickup between two ferocious Blacktop open-coil humbucking pickups with chrome/black bobbins and a coil-splitting push/pull switch built into the second tone knob that leaves the outside coils active. That means even more sonic versatility in a stylishly distinctive Strat® model for modern guitarists who want heavy and aggressive tone.
