Stratocaster with comfortable rosewood neck.
The construction of the American Professional II Rosewood Neck Strat combines traditional design cues with subtly modernized playing characteristics to create the perfect guitar for long shows and recording sessions. The alder "contour body" sits comfortably on the player thanks to generous front and back sculpts, while the contoured neck foot ensures easy access to the higher registers. The bolted neck made of solid rosewood not only supports the distinctive sound character of the electric guitar, but also offers optimal playing characteristics thanks to the "Deep C" profile.
Two V-Mod II single coils and the split V-Mod II double tap humbucker promise a versatile sound spectrum from clean to overdrive.
Flexible pickup setup
Thanks to its namesake HSS pickup setup, the American Professional II Rosewood Neck Strat HSS offers a wide-ranging sound that makes it the ideal all-rounder for almost any style of music. In neck and bridge position, two V-Mod II single coils deliver the typical, bell-bright Strat sounds, whereby the optimally matched Alnico mixtures promise a warm vintage character with crisp articulation. In bridge position, the V-Mod II DoubleTap humbucker provides juicy overdrive sounds with a wide midrange spectrum. The bridge pickup can also be split via the push/push switch in the second tone control, so that the typical tones of a single-coil pickup are also part of the electric guitar's repertoire.
On the headstock of the Am Pro II Rosewood Neck Strat, Fender Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered tuners provide accurate and stable tuning.
Indestructible hardware equipment
Last but not least, Fender completes the American Professional II Rosewood Neck Stratocaster HSS Sonic Blue features with high-quality and reliable hardware. The 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with cold-rolled steel block promises shimmering vibrato embellishments of melodies and chords thanks to its smooth and tuning-stable handling. Behind the bone nut, Fender Standard Cast/Sealed tuners with stepped winding axles also keep the electric guitar tuned accurately and consistently.
Cracking guitar, did take a little setting up on my behalf but got there pretty quickly. Sound from the guitar is very adaptive to my style and tuning (DADGAD) not the usual guitar for this tuning but plays great.
