Fender American Professional II Stratocaster®

The American Professional II Stratocaster® builds on more than sixty years of Fender innovation, delivering a refined and versatile instrument designed for todays working player. Combining classic Strat tone with modern enhancements, it offers exceptional feel, reliability and performance across any musical setting.

The popular Deep C-shaped neck has been enhanced with smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a Super-Natural satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel, providing outstanding comfort and effortless access to the upper frets. At its core, a trio of V-Mod II single-coil Stratocaster pickups delivers improved articulation while retaining the iconic bell-like chime, warmth and clarity that define the Strat sound.

An upgraded 2-point tremolo system with a cold-rolled steel block enhances sustain, resonance and high-end sparkle, while maintaining smooth, expressive vibrato. The addition of a treble bleed circuit ensures your tone stays clear and defined, even when rolling back the volume.

Familiar yet refined, the American Professional II Stratocaster® sets a new standard for modern professional guitars, offering the perfect balance of heritage tone and contemporary performance.

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 thats 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 colours). Alder is a classic Fender tonewood with a balanced sound perfect for almost any genre. Roasted pine is a lightweight wood known for punchy and complex tone upgraded with our roasting treatment, greatly improving resonance.
