Fender American Professional II Stratocaster Guitar Rosewood with Case

Fender American Pro II Stratocaster

The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster builds on over 70 years of innovation, blending the iconic design of the Stratocaster with modern upgrades for today’s musicians. It combines classic feel with contemporary enhancements, delivering exceptional tone and playability.

Designed to meet the demands of working professionals, this guitar is instantly familiar yet pushes the limits of what a production instrument can achieve.

A New Standard for Strat Tone

At the heart of this guitar’s voice is a blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity. Fender has revisited their pickup voicing to ensure that you don't have to choose between articulate cleans and punchy drive tones — you get both.

V-Mod II Single-Coil Pickups: These pickups have been voiced specifically for each position, delivering a perfectly balanced tone that retains the bell-like chime Fender is famous for while adding a newfound articulation that lets every nuance of your picking shine through.
Push-Push Tone Control: Hidden discreetly in the second tone knob, this switch activates the neck pickup in switch positions one and two, unlocking two unique pickup configurations — including the coveted "neck and bridge" combo — that are typically unavailable on a standard Strat.
Cold-Rolled Steel Block: The upgraded 2-point tremolo bridge features a cold-rolled steel block that significantly increases sustain and clarity, adding a touch of high-end sparkle to your sound that helps you cut through a dense mix.

Built for Your Hands, Not Just Your Ears

Fender went to great lengths to ensure the American Professional II feels as good as it sounds. They've refined every point of contact between you and the instrument to minimize fatigue and maximize performance.

Deep “C” Neck Profile: This profile sits in the "Goldilocks" zone — slim at the nut for chording comfort but filling out gradually as you move up the neck — while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges offer a broken-in feel right out of the case.
“Super-Natural” Satin Finish: The back of the neck features a satin urethane finish that eliminates the sticky feeling often associated with gloss necks, providing a smooth, fast surface that won't slow you down during sweaty gigs or long studio sessions.
Sculpted Neck Heel: The newly designed neck heel is rounded and beveled, removing the bulky block found on vintage models and providing effortless access to the upper register for uninhibited lead playing.

Hardware Ready for the Spotlight

Reliability is essential in a professional instrument. The American Professional II is built to withstand the demands of life on the road. Every component is carefully designed to keep your gear performing at its best, so you can focus on your playing.

2-Point Synchronized Tremolo: This modern bridge design offers superior tuning stability and smooth, fluid tremolo action, allowing for expressive pitch manipulation without the fear of dropping out of tune.
Narrow-Tall Frets: These frets provide a modern feel that makes bending notes and playing chords higher up the neck easier, ensuring precise intonation and excellent playability across the entire fingerboard.
