Fender American Professional II Stratocaster - Olympic White
There are few silhouettes in history as recognizable as the Fender Stratocaster. With the American Professional II, Fender hasn't just recreated a classic; they have refined the design based on over sixty years of artist feedback to create the ultimate workhorse for the modern musician. This model pairs a classic solid Alder body with a breathtaking Olympic White finish and a Rosewood fingerboard, delivering that warm, rich attack associated with legends like Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer. The "Deep C" maple neck now features smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a "Super-Natural" satin finish, making it one of the most comfortable necks you will ever hold.
Under the hood, this guitar is a sonic chameleon. The new V-Mod II single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position, offering a level of articulation and clarity that cuts through a mix while maintaining that signature vintage warmth and bell-like chime. The bridge pickup sparkles, the neck pickup is creamy and full, and the "in-between" quack is better than ever. Plus, with the push-push tone control, you can activate the neck pickup in switch positions 1 and 2, unlocking telecaster-style combinations that standard Strats just can't do.
An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block improves sustain and adds a touch of high-end sparkle, ensuring your tuning stays stable even during expressive play. Whether you are playing blues in a smoky dive bar or tracking a pop record in a high-end studio, the American Pro II Stratocaster offers the reliability and versatility to handle it all. It’s not just an instrument; it's a continuation of a legacy that defined rock and roll.
