Fender American Professional II Limited Edition Stratocaster RW, Sonic Blue

Full Description

Articulate tone with vintage warmth

Equipped with three V-Mod II single-coil pickups, the American Professional II Stratocaster delivers articulate tones that retain the classic Strat chime and warmth. These pickups are designed to be expressive, allowing for clear note definition in both clean and overdriven settings. Whether you’re playing subtle blues licks or high-energy rock riffs, this Strat offers versatile, professional-level sound.

Enhanced sustain and clarity

The upgraded 2-point tremolo features a cold-rolled steel block, which significantly improves sustain and gives your notes a crisp, clear quality. This design not only ensures smooth tremolo action but also adds extra depth to your sound, especially in the high-end range. Whether you're adding subtle vibrato or diving deep, the tremolo is responsive and stable.

Supreme comfort and easy playability

The Deep "C" neck profile, combined with rolled fingerboard edges and a satin finish, provides an incredibly comfortable playing experience. The newly sculpted neck heel offers easy access to the upper frets, making this Strat a dream to play in all positions. With 22 narrow-tall frets, you’ll enjoy easy string bending and precise control over every note.

Consistency at any volume

The built-in treble bleed circuit ensures that your tone remains bright and clear, even when you lower the volume. This feature allows you to retain high frequencies, offering a consistent, vibrant sound without losing detail as you adjust your dynamics. Ideal for players who need full control over their sound, whether on stage or in the studio.
