American Professional Stratocaster HSS MN Olympic White — Modern Performance, Classic Tone
The American Professional Stratocaster HSS MN Olympic White reimagines Fender's iconic double-cutaway for the modern player who wants vintage Strat sparkle with humbucker muscle. Built around a lightweight alder body finished in Olympic White polyurethane, this HSS model pairs two V-Mod III single-coils with a V-Mod III humbucker at the bridge. The result covers glassy clean tones, fat rhythm work, and singing lead lines. Built in the USA, this model ships with a Deluxe Molded hardshell case.
What Sets This Strat Apart
The V-Mod III bridge humbucker delivers punchy humbucking tones as well as calibrated single-coil sounds at the push of a button, thanks to the push-push tone control that activates the coil-split. ClassicGear Precision potentiometers provide smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper.
Alder Body Built for Resonance and Stage Looks
Alder has been Fender's go-to Stratocaster tonewood for decades, prized for its balanced midrange and lightweight feel that makes long sets comfortable. The Olympic White polyurethane finish pairs with a 3-ply mint green pickguard and aged white control knobs for a vintage-inspired look.

For Players Who Want Strat Chime and Humbucker Muscle in One Guitar
This model is the right choice for working guitarists who need a single instrument covering clean funk, bluesy leads, and heavier rock without switching guitars mid-set. Songwriters will appreciate the articulate single-coil voicings for fingerstyle, while rock and blues players can lean on the V-Mod III humbucker for sustained solos. Session musicians will value the 5-way switching and push-push coil-split for dialing in studio-ready tones. Right-handed players get a full-size instrument with the classic 25.5" scale length that has defined Fender Stratocasters since 1954.
