The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster Electric Guitar draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution to meet the demands of today's working players. The 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. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil 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.
V-Mod II Pickups
V-Mod II Stratocaster pickups are voiced specifically for each position, creating a perfectly balanced tone with the vintage warmth and crisp, clear sound that made Fender a legend.
New Sculpted Neck Heel
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.
2-Point Tremolo with Cold-Rolled Steel Block
This Stratocaster features a two-point tremolo bridge with vintage-style saddles for superior tuning stability, tremolo action, and ease of adjustment - and the upgraded cold-rolled steel block increases sustain clarity, and high-end sparkle.
Deep C Neck Profile with Rolled Fingerboard Edges
Delivering both comfort and speed, the American Professional II Deep C neck profile is slim at the nut and fills out gradually as it approaches the neck joint to create a natural feel that's perfect for chording and single-note playing alike. The hand-rolled fingerboard edges and Super-Natural satin finish provide a supremely comfortable feel.
Special Electronics
A performance-friendly push-push switch on the second tone control activates the neck pickup in switch positions one and two, adding two unique pickup configurations not normally found on a Strat.
Alder or Roasted Pine
This guitar is available in either alder or roasted pine (on select colors). Alder is a classic Fender tonewood with a balanced sound perfect for almost any genre. Roasted pine is a lightweight wood known for its punchy and complex tone upgraded with roasting treatment, greatly improving resonance.
