Fender Limited Edition American Professional II Stratocaster, Shell Pink Matched Headstock

Full Description

Timeless style with a unique finish

The Fender Limited Edition American Professional II Stratocaster stands out with its Shell Pink finish and matching headstock. The combination of the vintage-inspired hue with a 3-ply mint green pickguard and aged white plastic parts gives this Strat a cool retro vibe while still feeling fresh and current. As part of Fender's limited edition run, this Shell Pink model is a rare Strat to get your hands on, not only offering the best in terms of playability, but also stunning aesthetics that blends retro and modern features.

Modern neck design built for comfort

At the heart of the playing experience is the Deep “C” maple neck, which Fender has refined to provide a trio of speed, support, and comfort. It’s shaped to sit naturally in your hand, with a contour that’s thicker at the base and gradually tapers for a smooth, intuitive grip across the board. The fingerboard edges are rolled for a broken-in feel, eliminating any sharp edges and allowing your fretting hand to move freely and comfortably. A “Super-Natural” satin finish on the back of the neck enhances that feel even further, resisting stickiness and providing a fast surface that responds to every movement. A newly sculpted neck heel completes the design, offering better access to the upper frets and giving lead parts and solos the room they deserve.

V-Mod II pickups for expressive tone

This Stratocaster is loaded with a trio of V-Mod II single-coil pickups, engineered to enhance the signature Strat sound while adding more articulation and dynamic response. These pickups retain the glassy highs and bell-like clarity that guitarists love, but with improved warmth and definition across all positions. Clean rhythm work and punchy lead lines both benefit from the increased detail and balance. The pickup configuration is paired with a 5-way selector switch, giving you instant access to classic tones and in-between textures. A treble bleed circuit ensures your highs stay intact even as you roll back the volume, keeping your sound consistent and expressive at any level.

Enhanced tremolo system with added sustain

Fender has upgraded the 2-point synchronised tremolo system to include a cold-rolled steel block, bringing increased sustain and improved high-end clarity. This bridge design is engineered for stability and fluid action, letting you perform subtle vibrato or expressive pitch shifts without compromising tuning reliability. The pop-in tremolo arm adds convenience and ensures a secure fit during performance. Combined with Fender’s staggered tuners, the tremolo system offers smooth operation and better string tension across the nut, enhancing tuning stability and resonance. From ambient textures to bold bends, this trem system responds beautifully to your playing style.
