This Fender American Professional II Stratocaster electric guitar features an HSS pickup configuration with a maple neck, offering players a versatile instrument for any style. Fender’s latest refinements—within the American Pro II Series—to a time-tested design produce an evolved and specialized player's guitar.

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Maple Pickups

Revolutionary V-Mod II Pickups

This American Pro II Strat’s revised single-coil pickups add nuance and warmth to the signature chime of the instrument's neck and middle positions. The bridge pickup incorporates a revolutionary humbucker with a coil-splitting function to produce searing hard rock tones or classic single-coil sound with the flip of a switch.

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Alder Body

Sleek Alder Body

This Stratocaster’s alder body provides a lightweight yet resonant foundation for full tone. Its contours offer playing comfort, while the tonewood itself helps produce a balanced sound with articulate lows, present mids and shimmering highs.

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Maple Neck

Maple Neck and Fingerboard

The maple neck and fingerboard result in a smooth playing experience. The neck's satin finish and sculpted heel provide a natural feel, while the fingerboard's rolled edges increase comfort. The neck's profile and fingerboard's radius offer familiarity and playability.

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Tremolo Bridge

2-Point Synchronized Tremolo

The upgraded 2-point synchronized tremolo, with its cold-rolled steel block, provides players the ability to perform expressive string bends and dives. The tremolo system retains sustain, clarity and articulation while adding shimmer to the high end.

Players seeking an evolved and specialized instrument will appreciate this American Professional II Strat for its blend of classic features and fresh design. Fender has created an instrument with features and appointments tailored to the needs of the discerning guitarist.
