Electric Guitar · United States · Introduced 2020
The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster represents decades of accumulated craftsmanship, engineering evolution, and player feedback, serving as the flagship modern iteration of the world's most iconic solid-body electric guitar. Constructed with a contoured solid alder (or roasted pine) body and a deep 'C' neck profile featuring rolled fingerboard edges and a 'Super-Natural' satin finish, it offers immediate, broken-in comfort right out of the case. The instrument is powered by three V-Mod II single-coil Stratocaster pickups, meticulously voiced to deliver an extraordinary balance of vintage warmth, bell-like chime, and crystal-clear articulation without unwanted hum or harshness. The modernized 2-point tremolo system features a cold-rolled steel block that dramatically increases sustain, clarity, and high-end sparkle while providing buttery-smooth vibrato action. A push-push tone control adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, expanding the traditional switching palette to include rich tele-like tones. It is the ultimate professional-grade instrument for discerning musicians who demand absolute reliability and timeless musical expression.
