I can only imagine that the strats have been changed to this spec to possibly use some of the rejected Pro series parts they probably have in a bin some where.
And, more importantly, will the shops be blowing out their old MIM Stds at silly prices?
What’s the point in confusing customers like this?

The American went through a few name changes over the years - from Standard to Series back to Standard and now to Professional.
'Professional' tends to be short for "real professionals wouldn't touch this with a bargepole" too.
"This one goes to 11..."
The whole thing just reeks of marketing-committee bullshit.

Not bothering with all this range-renaming constant-reinvention in a desperate attempt to make it look like they're innovating - just carrying on making guitars with small changes and new models over the years. No wonder they're not profitable...
Or half a billion dollars in debt.

Endlessly renaming ranges, endless slight permutations of designs born closer in time to the birth of the Model T Ford than now, calling a Telecaster 'innovative'. Watching the kettle boil's more interesting. Would it hurt them that much to actually design something a bit new? No need to ditch the current the zillion models, just stop tinkering and calling them "new".
On the other hand it leaves space for others to fill in, probably even helps drive innovation elsewhere..

Then they can have a few special edition with deviations from the normal design like different pickup configurations and unusual features. They can throw in a few Artist models as a part of that and if you aren't happy with the standard config you can go to the custom shop.
I'm not going to buy one anyway, so I don't have particularly strong feelings tbh
Noticed that Peach has a Tidepool Player Tele in stock that looks quite nice though...
