Released as The New American Professional with no numbering, but to avoid confusion and keep it convenient, we name it American Professional III Here. Because that is what it is :)

The new saddles is basically the Highwood Saddles patent. But where Highwood bend it the same direction like standard saddles and back again, Fender has bent them from front to back again into a radial shape.
It features the same groove, and recessed/hidden grub screw like Highwoods.
