Fender American Professional Stratocaster RW Olympic White Electric guitar

American Professional Stratocaster RW Olympic White — the modern USA Strat, refined

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster RW Olympic White is the Made-in-USA evolution of the most-played electric guitar shape in history. This model pairs a classic alder body with a bolt-on maple "Deep C" neck and a 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard, then layers in upgrades for today's working player: V-Mod III single-coil pickups, a push-push tone control that adds the neck pickup, ClassicGear Precision potentiometers and an upgraded 2-Point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block. The Olympic White finish is a timeless, understated look on stage and in the studio.

What sets this Strat apart

Three V-Mod III single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth that define a real Strat. A push-push tone control adds the neck pickup, opening up pickup combinations beyond the standard five-way layout. The sculpted neck heel, rolled fingerboard edges and satin urethane neck finish work together so the hand glides smoothly up to the highest frets without any sticky or sharp spots.

Body, neck and feel — the foundation of the Strat sound

The alder body is the tonal backbone of this guitar, chosen for its balanced response across the lows, mids and highs. The bolt-on maple "Deep C" neck suits both chord work and lead playing. A polyurethane body finish protects the Olympic White paint, while the satin urethane neck back keeps the hand moving freely during long sessions.

• Body Material: Alder — the classic Strat tonewood, balanced and full
• Neck Material: Maple, bolt-on, "Deep C" profile — comfortable for chords and leads
• Fingerboard Material: Rosewood — warm, smooth feel under the fingers
• Finish: Polyurethane body, "Super-Natural" satin urethane back of neck — durable on top, fast on the back

Pickups and electronics — articulation without losing warmth

The new V-Mod III single-coil set is more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth. ClassicGear Precision potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with a musical taper, and the push-push tone control adds the neck pickup for combinations beyond the standard five-way switching.

• Pickup Configuration: SSS — three V-Mod III single-coils
• Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1 (neck/middle), Tone 2 (bridge), push-push tone control adds neck pickup
• Selector: 5-way pickup selector switch

Hardware, scale and playability — built for real playing

The 25.5" scale length gives the Strat its unmistakable snap and punch, while the 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 narrow-tall frets make bends and chord shapes feel natural across the entire neck. The upgraded 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo uses a cold-rolled steel block for more sustain and clarity, paired with bent steel saddles and a pop-in tremolo arm that clicks into place without threading. Fender Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered tuners and a bone nut keep tuning stable through long sets and heavy tremolo use.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — the classic Strat snap and string tension
• Fingerboard Radius: 241 mm — comfortable for chords and bending alike
• Frets: 22 narrow-tall — modern feel with classic Fender spacing
• Nut Width: 42.8 mm — enough room for chord work, narrow enough for fast leads
• Bridge: 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with cold-rolled steel block and pop-in arm
• Tuners: Fender Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered
• Nut: Bone — traditional material for tuning stability

Who the American Professional Stratocaster is for

The Fender American Professional Stratocaster RW Olympic White is the right choice for working guitarists who want a Made-in-USA Strat with modern refinements but without the vintage-reissue price tag. It suits blues, rock, country, funk, indie and jazz players who rely on the classic Strat quack in positions 2 and 4 and need the extra push-push tones for live versatility. Right-handed players get the full-size body, full 25.5" scale and 22-fret neck that have defined the Stratocaster since 1954.
