American Professional II Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard 3-Color Sunburst

The American Professional II Stratocaster: A New Standard for the Modern Player

Vintage Vibe with Modern Refinement

The American Professional II Stratocaster in 3-Color Sunburst blends sixty years of iconic design with player-focused innovations that deliver both familiarity and fresh tonal potential. Its alder body, coated in a sleek gloss urethane finish, offers the unmistakable snap and shimmer that Strat fans crave, now with a touch more clarity and warmth thanks to upgraded electronics and hardware.

Enhanced Comfort and Playability

This Strat sports the popular Deep "C" neck profile, refined with smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a Super-Natural satin urethane finish that practically disappears under your hand. A newly sculpted neck heel offers effortless access to the upper frets, and the 22 narrow-tall frets across a 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard strike the perfect balance between modern playability and classic feel.

Crystal Clear Tone with Greater Articulation

The trio of V-Mod II single-coil pickups has been meticulously voiced to enhance articulation and retain the classic chime that defines the Strat sound. Whether you're exploring pristine cleans or gritty overdrive, these pickups respond with a sensitivity and detail that’s a cut above. A push-push tone control adds the neck pickup into any position, greatly expanding your tonal palette.

Upgraded Tremolo System for Superior Sustain

Fender’s updated 2-point synchronized tremolo system includes a cold-rolled steel block for increased sustain, clarity, and high-end sparkle. Whether you're diving deep or adding subtle warble, this bridge responds with tuning stability and expressive control.

Stage-Ready Versatility and Timeless Aesthetic

With its 3-Color Sunburst finish, aged white accents, and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, this Stratocaster is visually rooted in tradition while sonically pushing forward. Whether you’re in the studio, on stage, or tracking at home, the American Professional II Stratocaster delivers a level of tone and performance that lives up to the name.
