Fender American Professional II Stratocaster in 3-Tone Sunburst with Maple Fingerboard.

Description

The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster sets a new standard. Keeping everything that made its predecessor so great, the American Pro II Strat is easier to play and offers greater tonal flexibility thanks to some small yet noteworthy refinements.

Key updates include Fenders brand new V-Mod II pickups, an ultra-fast Super Natural neck finish and an ergonomic sculpted heel for superb upper fret access. Perfectly balancing traditional design with modern finesse, the Fender American Pro II Stratocaster serves as an excellent workhorse for the studio and the stage!

Fast & Comfortable Neck

Fenders American Pro II Stratocaster retains the popular Deep C neck profile that so many players adored from the first iteration. However, this upgraded model provides an extra sense of comfort thanks to its smooth rolled fingerboard edges; combined with the new Super Natural satin finish that allows you to effortlessly glide up and down the neck with zero hindrance.

Balanced Alder Body

The American Professional II Strats flawlessly-crafted neck is joined with an Alder body. A Fender favourite since the 50s, Alder serves as a brillant sonic foundation for the single-coil trio thanks to its even tonal properties – punchy lows, barking mid-range and sweet highs.

V-Mod II Pickups

Fenders brand new V-Mod II pickups breathe fresh life into the American Professional Stratocaster. Wound differently to their older counterparts, these revised pickups sound more articulate yet retain the unmistakable chime and bell-like treble that youd expect from a classic Strat.

Push/Push electronics open up the American Pro II Strats tonal palette too, allowing you to add the neck pickup to switch position 1 for a Telecaster-style configuration. These versatile electronics make the American Professional II Strat ideal for the contemporary musician.

Re-Designed Tremolo

The 2-point synchronized tremolo is a favourite among modern Fender fans, preferred for its smoother bar action and stability over the vintage 6-screw trem. Fenders American Pro II Stratocaster comes equipped with an upgraded version of the 2-point design; boasting a cold-rolled steel block that increases sustain, clarity and top-end sparkle.
