Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Rosewood, Mercury

The indispensable Fender Stratocaster blazes yet another trail with the American Professional II series. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups provide the crystal clarity and warmth expected from the iconic instrument along with a Double-Tap humbucking bridge pickup that allows players to swap between hearty humbucking barks and smooth single-coil chimes. The popular Deep "C"-neck features new rolled fingerboard edges for a silky touch and streamlined slides from higher to lower registers. A 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block allows for expressive bends in playing while retaining absolute precision in intonation. The unwavering creative spirit the Fender Stratocaster inspires is present in the American Professional II and is far from being counted out.
