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 Modern "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. A combination of Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 Bridge and Custom Flat Strat® SSL-6 pickups give this instrument bite and articulation for rock 'n' roll styles. An upgraded string-through body hardtail bridge gives stability, increasing 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.

Closest Store   Vancouver, British Columbia
Bought this Strat from the Vancouver store about 2 months ago and knew it was the one for me the second I picked it up. The satin Smoke finish on the sandblasted ash looks and feels amazing. The grain of the pieces Fender chose for these bodies is ridiculous and adds tons of character. It’s also my lightest non-headless instrument, which makes long play sessions a lot easier on the back. The finish on the roasted maple neck is perfect; silky and all kinds of fast. This model comes with the Modern C profile instead of the usual Deep C on the Am Pro IIs, and imo it’s a great choice since it’s aimed at metal/hard rock players. The frets are level, but Fender consistently drops the ball when it comes to crowning and this one is unfortunately no exception. Easy fix, but shouldn’t be a necessary one at this tier. Action was great out of the box, and I was able to lower it to my preferences without issue. The nut was also cut perfectly, and tuning stability and intonation are everything you’d expect from a hardtail strat of this caliber. You’d need an Evertune to get any more stable. The tones are phenomenal. The JB is a legendary pickup for a reason. It crushes anything from edge of breakup to disgusting saturation with great articulation and dynamics. The SSL-6 Flat Strats in the middle and neck position have a more rounded and full sound than Fender’s usual offerings. Not much quack to be found, but 4th position is great for hyper-compressed cleans and still sounds stratty enough to my ear. Got to dock a point for not including a split or S1 option though… Even if it’s aimed at metalheads, tonal versatility is a mainstay of the Am Pro II line and it feels like calculated cost-saving on Fender’s part. Overall I’m incredibly happy with this guitar. I’ve seen people say it’s just a Charvel with a different name on the headstock, but I’ve played and owned Charvels and I couldn’t disagree more. This is 100% a Fender Strat through and through, and if you’ve always wanted a Strat but found them lacking for heavier styles, this is the one for you.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
