Fender American Professional II Stratocaster - Black  

The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster isn't just a tool; it’s the next chapter in the most storied legacy in music history. Drawing from over sixty years of innovation, this model takes the foundation laid by legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and supercharges it for the modern stage. The iconic alder body provides that classic, balanced resonance and clear attack that has defined countless hits, while the new "Super-Natural" satin finish on the neck ensures your hand glides effortlessly from the nut to the newly sculpted neck heel.

Under the hood, you’ll find a trio of V-Mod II single-coil pickups, specifically voiced to deliver more articulation than ever before while maintaining that signature bell-like chime. Whether you’re chasing the soulful quack of John Mayer or the biting overdrive of SRV, the added "push-push" electronics allow you to blend the neck pickup into positions one and two, giving you tonal options usually reserved for a Telecaster. This is a workhorse designed for the professional who demands versatility without sacrificing the soul of a vintage instrument.
