The American Professional II Stratocaster® draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player. Our popular Deep “C” neck now features smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish, and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register.

New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever, while retaining their bell-like chime and warmth. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block enhances sustain, clarity, and high-end sparkle.

The American Professional II Stratocaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad-ranging improvements that set a new standard for professional instruments.
