The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster brings classic three-pickup versatility together with refined playability for rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances. Its alder body features a gloss urethane Dark Night finish with black controls, pickup covers, switch tip, and pickguard for a distinctive stage presence.Position Voiced V Mod II PickupsThree V Mod II single-coil Stratocaster pickups are voiced for their individual positions, producing clear articulation, bell-like chime, and warm response. A 5-position blade switch provides the familiar bridge, middle, neck, and combined pickup sounds. The push-push second tone control adds the neck pickup in switch positions 1 and 2, opening 2 additional tonal combinations.Comfortable Deep C NeckThe maple neck uses Fender’s Deep C profile, a satin urethane finish on the back, and smoothly rolled rosewood fingerboard edges. A 9.5-inch radius, 22 narrow tall frets, and a bone nut support comfortable chord work, clean bends, and fluid movement across the neck. The sculpted heel and beveled neck plate also improve access to the upper register.Upgraded Tremolo and Stage Ready HardwareThe two-point synchronized tremolo uses bent steel saddles, a pop-in tremolo arm, and a cold-rolled steel block. This configuration supports smooth tremolo action while adding sustain, clarity, and high-frequency sparkle. Staggered sealed tuning machines, a treble bleed circuit, vintage-style strap buttons, and the included deluxe molded case complete a versatile instrument built for regular professional use.
