The Fender Stratocaster since the dawn of the electric guitar, the Strat has seen itself become the most loved and most iconic electric guitar of all time. Fender s new Pro II series has breathed new life into Strat, whilst remaining true to all the elements which have made the Strat the beloved icon it is today. This, the American Professional II Stratocaster takes full inspiration from over 60 years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet and even surpass the demands of the modern player. Fender s ever popular Deep C neck now features super-smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a Super-Natural satin finish and a newly designed sculpted neck heel for a magnificently comfortable feel and simple access to the upper registers. Fender included their new V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups to deliver greater articulation than ever before, all whilst retaining that inimitable bell-like chime and warmth that can only come from the Stratocaster. Also new to American Pro II series is an upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block to increase sustain, clarity and that high-end sparkle. When you purchase your American Pro II Stratocaster, you ll be greeted with that instant familiarity and sonic flexibility the Strat has become famous for, but with a broad range of improvements which all add up to nothing less than the new standard for professional musical instruments.
