The American Professional II Stratocaster is a popular choice for musicians looking for a guitar with a comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. Featuring a Deep C neck profile, smooth rolled fingerboard edges, and a “Super-Natural” satin finish, this Stratocaster offers unparalleled playing comfort. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups provide articulate tones with bell-like chime and warmth, while an upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain and clarity. A performance-friendly design feature adds two unique pickup configurations not typically found on a Stratocaster. Located on the second tone control, the push-push switch triggers the neck pickup in switch positions one and two. The American Professional II Stratocaster is designed to meet the needs of modern players with a surplus of user-centric features.
