Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS RW OWT

Electric Guitar / HN219688

Description of product

The American Professional II series combines the best of classic Fender electric guitar design with modern design features and solutions. The instruments in this series are thus the ideal choice for players who appreciate playing characteristics and features that meet today's demands more than the authentic look of the originals and the "aged" finish of the guitars.

The alder body of this Stratocaster is covered in a glossy polyurethane lacquer. The maple neck with its "Deep C" profile (a cross between Modern C and U) fits perfectly in your hand - whether you're playing fast solos or chords. Twenty-two Narrow Tall frets and white position dots divide the rosewood fingerboard. Rounded fingerboard edges and a newly shaped neck foot ensure easy and comfortable fingerboard playability across the entire fingerboard surface.

At the heart of every guitar are the pickups. In the case of this model, it's a pair of V-Mod single-coil pickups, which offer a beautifully articulate sound while retaining a classic Strat feel, and a Double Tap humbucker, whose full-throated tone is transformed at the touch of a button (S1 switch on the Volume potentiometer) into the pure sound of a single-coil while maintaining the same volume level. The character of the sound can be shaped using the volume control, two tone controls and a five-position pickup switch. The Treble Bleed circuit ensures a constant tone quality without accentuating the bass when the Volume knob is reduced.

Strings are anchored in the company's tuning machines (Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered) and synchronized tremolo with steel saddles and two-point attachment.

The guitar is supplied in a moulded case.
