The American Professional II Stratocaster is a popular choice among artists seeking a guitar with a pleasant feel and easy access to the upper register. The Stratocaster is designed for comfort, with a rounded neck heel and beveled neck plate that increase access to the top register, making leads easier and more comfortable. The Deep “C” neck shape provides a natural feel that is ideal for chording and single-note playing.
The new V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups produce articulate tones with bell-like chime and warmth, and the updated 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block improves sustain and clarity.
A performance-oriented design element includes two unique pickup arrangements not commonly found on Stratocasters.
The push-push switch, located on the second tone control, turns on the neck pickup in switch positions one and two. The American Professional II Stratocaster is designed to fulfill the needs of today’s guitarists, with an abundance of user-friendly features.
Since its debut in 1954, the Stratocaster has undergone constant refinement to meet the needs and desires of the working guitarist. The American Professional II Strat may be one of the most complete evolutions yet of this time-tested, player-proven guitar.
Bringing touches previously reserved for Custom Shop instruments to a production guitar makes this a very special player. The lightweight alder rings beautifully, building the tonal foundation for the instrument. With a smoothly rolled fingerboard edge, sculpted neck heel and a satin neck finish that feels almost naked, it’s an incredibly comfortable guitar to play. Freshly revised V-Mod II pickups add articulation and warmth to classic Strat chime. The upgraded 2-point synchronized tremolo with its cold-rolled steel block adds sustain and increases clarity while adding a touch of high-end sparkle.
Instantly, totally familiar but subtly different, the American Pro II Strat is one of the most versatile electric guitars you’re likely to play. Fender may well have created a new standard in production guitars with this one.
