Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS RW 3-Colour Sunburst 2022

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition. Includes original Fender hard case.

The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS 2022, is a versatile, modern‑leaning Strat, a guitar built for players who want classic Strat feel with genuinely expanded tonal muscle.

This model delivers premium playability, refined single‑coil clarity, and a powerful, articulate humbucker that makes it far more flexible than a traditional SSS Strat. If you want a Strat that can cover blues, indie, funk, and then jump straight into high‑gain rock without breaking a sweat, this is the one.

Build Quality & Feel  

Neck & Playability  

- Deep C profile comfortable, substantial, and great for long sessions  
- Rolled fingerboard edges instantly “broken‑in” feel  
- Narrow‑tall frets excellent for bends and vibrato  
- Satin finish — fast, smooth, and never sticky  

The neck is a standout feature. It feels more premium than older American Standards and sits right in the sweet spot between modern comfort and vintage familiarity.

Body & Hardware  

- Alder body with the classic 3‑Colour Sunburst  
- Sculpted neck heel noticeably better upper‑fret access  
- 2‑point tremolo with cold‑rolled steel block  
- High‑quality tuners stable, reliable, gig‑ready  

 Tone & Electronics  

V‑Mod II Single‑Coils  

The neck and middle pickups are:  
- Clearer and sweeter than the original V‑Mods  
- Less brittle in the highs 
- More dynamic with better note separation  

They deliver classic Strat sparkle but with a smoother, more refined top end.

DoubleTap Humbucker (Bridge)

This is where the HSS version shines. The DoubleTap is:  
- Punchy and tight for rock and heavier styles  
- Surprisingly articulate for cleans  
- Convincing in coil‑split mode, retaining usable single‑coil character  

It’s one of Fender’s best modern humbuckers , not muddy, not overly hot, and genuinely versatile.

Switching & Controls  

- Standard Strat 5‑way  
- Push/push tone control for coil‑split  
- Wide tonal range:  
  - Glassy neck cleans  
  - Funky, snappy middle  
  - Quack in positions 2/4  
  - Full humbucker punch  
  - Split‑coil brightness  

This layout makes the guitar feel like two instruments in one.
