American Professional II Strat HSS Rosewood Fingerboard - Mercury: A New Standard for Professional Instruments

The American Professional II Stratocaster HSS draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution to meet the demands of today?s working player. This Stratocaster, finished in stunning Mercury, combines exceptional playability with sonic versatility, making it a perfect choice for any guitarist.

Superior Playability and Comfort

Fender's 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. The 9.5? radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 narrow tall frets provides a familiar playing experience, while the white dot position inlays add a classic touch.

Articulate and Versatile Pickups

Equipped with new V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups, the American Professional II Stratocaster HSS delivers articulate, bell-like chime and warmth. The DoubleTap bridge pickup provides punchy humbucking tones as well as calibrated single-coil sounds at the push of a button. The upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity, and high-end sparkle.

High-Quality Hardware

The American Professional II Stratocaster HSS features Fender Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered tuning machines for superior tuning stability. The 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles and a pop-in tremolo arm offers smooth, responsive action. The nickel/chrome hardware finish and 3-ply black pickguard add to the guitar's sleek, modern look.
