The Fender American Professional II HSS Stratocaster sets a new standard. Keeping everything that made its predecessor so great, the American Pro II Strat is easier to play and offers greater tonal flexibility thanks to some small yet noteworthy refinements.
Key updates include Fender’s brand new V-Mod II pickups, an ultra-fast “Super Natural” neck finish and an ergonomic sculpted heel for superb upper fret access. Perfectly balancing traditional design with modern finesse, the Fender American Pro II HSS Stratocaster serves as an excellent workhorse for the studio and the stage!
Fast & Comfortable Neck
Fender’s American Pro II Stratocaster retains the popular Deep “C” neck profile that so many players adored from the first iteration. However, this upgraded model provides an extra sense of comfort thanks to its smooth rolled fingerboard edges; combined with the new “Super Natural” satin finish that allows you to effortlessly glide up and down the neck with zero hindrance.
Roasted Pine Body
The American Professional II HSS Strat’s flawlessly-crafted neck is joined with a gorgeous Roasted Pine body. A material only previously used for selected FSR and Custom Shop models; Roasted Pine is very lightweight and yields a punchy tone with lots of natural resonance.
V-Mod II Pickups
Fender’s brand new V-Mod II pickups breathe fresh life into the American Professional Stratocaster. Wound differently to their older counterparts, these revised single-coils sound more articulate yet retain the unmistakable chime and bell-like treble that you’d expect from a classic Strat, while the newly-voiced Double Tap humbucker dishes out heaps of output with clear note definition.
“Push/Push” electronics open up the American Pro II Strat’s tonal palette too, allowing you to coil-split the bridge humbucker for the conventional Strat-style pickup configuration. These versatile electronics make the American Professional II HSS Strat ideal for the contemporary musician.
Re-Designed Tremolo
The 2-point synchronized tremolo is a favourite among modern Fender fans, preferred for its smoother bar action and stability over the vintage 6-screw trem. Fender’s American Pro II HSS Stratocaster comes equipped with an upgraded version of the 2-point design; boasting a cold-rolled steel block that increases sustain, clarity and top-end sparkle.
