Gear Hunter

The Stratocaster® American Professional II draws on over sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's professional musicians.

Fender's already highly regarded Deep "C" neck now features rounded fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish, and a redesigned neck heel for optimal playing comfort and easy access to the upper frets. The new V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups offer unprecedented articulation while maintaining their crystal-clear brightness and clarity. An improved 2-point tremolo, with a cold-rolled steel block, enhances sustain, clarity, and treble brightness.

The American Pro II Stratocaster offers instant familiarity and sonic versatility that you will feel and hear immediately, thanks to numerous enhancements that constitute nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.

Luxury molded case included.
