Often copied, but never surpassed, the Stratocaster is arguably the world’s most-loved electric guitar. Electrifying the music world since its release in 1954, its natural, versatile sound made the Stratocaster the benchmark for exceptional guitar tones. The American Professional Stratocaster HH ShawBucker isn’t a re-imagining of the classic design; it’s the authentic original model, evolved for today’s players.
The choice of musical legends since its release, the Stratocaster feel and sound set the world on fire, powering music movements from rock ‘n’ roll to EDM, and everything in-between. In your hands this Strat is ready to navigate the creative twists and turns of your music, inviting you to express yourself in new ways through your playing.
The pair of warm, rich-sounding ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position, producing powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. Retain high-end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern “Deep C”-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.
The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Stratocaster HH Shawbucker is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend. Includes hardshell case.

I really hate it when people who don't even own an instrument leave pointless and nonsensical reviews. So unlike the previous reviewer, I actually purchased this Fender Am-Pro Strat HH and just LOVE it! It was set-up beautifully right out of the box. The finish was flawless, the set-up great, and I really like the antique Olive (khaki) color. I've been wanting an HH strat for some time. I love the feel and playability of strats in general (esp. vs Gibson et.al. which I do own and rarely play do to the comfort factor). This strat is the perfect lighter weight. Much to my surprise, I absolutely love the feel of the new neck -- it feels great in hand without feeling chunky or limiting playability and the satin finish is smooth as smooth can be and very fast. Fretwork is also very nice. The 5-way switch for the pups offers great tonal options with the humbuckers and it sounds great regardless of the amp I plug into. Thanks for another great guitar, Fender!

.This would be a great guitar if you change the pickups and neck. This guitar seems like A failed attempt to copy Ibanez or ESP. Although, they do a great job of copying an Indo case.....very cheap!
