Fast & Comfortable Neck

Fender’s American Pro II Stratocaster retains the popular Deep “C” neck profile that so many players adored from the first iteration. However, this upgraded model provides an extra sense of comfort thanks to its smooth rolled fingerboard edges; combined with the new “Super Natural” satin finish that allows you to effortlessly glide up and down the neck with zero hindrance.

Roasted Pine Body

The American Professional II Strat’s flawlessly-crafted neck is joined with a gorgeous Roasted Pine body. A material only previously used for selected FSR and Custom Shop models; Roasted Pine is very lightweight and yields a punchy tone with lots of natural resonance.

V-Mod II Pickups

Fender’s brand new V-Mod II pickups breathe fresh life into the American Professional Stratocaster. Wound differently to their older counterparts, these revised pickups sound more articulate yet retain the unmistakable chime and bell-like treble that you’d expect from a classic Strat.

“Push/Push” electronics open up the American Pro II Strat’s tonal palette too, allowing you to add the neck pickup to switch position 1 for a Telecaster-style configuration. These versatile electronics make the American Professional II Strat ideal for the contemporary musician.

Re-Designed Tremolo

The 2-point synchronized tremolo is a favourite among modern Fender fans, preferred for its smoother bar action and stability over the vintage 6-screw trem. Fender’s American Pro II Stratocaster comes equipped with an upgraded version of the 2-point design; boasting a cold-rolled steel block that increases sustain, clarity and top-end sparkle.
