Description

The American Professional II Stratocaster® draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player.
Fender’s popular Deep « C » neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a « Super-Natural » satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. Custom Shop Fat ’50s Single-Coil Strat® pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.
The American Pro II Stratocaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
