Our Take:
The Fender American Professional Series was one of Fender's most celebrated product lines, and for good reason: they were no-nonsense, reliable, good quality versions of Fender's most popular guitars. The American Professional II Stratocaster continues that tradition begun by its predecessor, with some minor improvements, such as smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a brand-new neck heel, and a new Strat bridge that's highly flexible and easily tailored to your liking. Other improvements include a pair of V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups that add even more articulation to the chimey Strat sound, and a "Super-Natural" satin finish that allows you to virtually glide along the neck.
Fender's Take:
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.
Our 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.
