FENDER American Professional II Stratocaster RW Anniversary 2-Color Sunburst
Stratocaster electric guitar with V-Mod II single coils and 'Super Natural' satin neck finish, including case and certificate
With the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster RW Anniversary 2-Color Sunburst, Fender is sending the best-known model of the popular US series into the second round. Special emphasis has been placed on tonal variety and modern playability, with the alder body featuring a contoured neck heel for easy access to the high registers. In addition, the soft 'Super Natural' satin Finish on the back of the neck and rounded fingerboard edges offer the best playing conditions for the left hand. The pickup setup of the American Professional II Strat consists of three reworked V-Mod II single coils on the neck, middle and bridge to skillfully reproduce the characterful and articulate Strat sounds including authentic intermediate positions. Furthermore, the instrument has a modern and functional 2-point tremolo bridge with a sustain-rich steel block and six standard cast/sealed tuners with stepped axles. including FenderDeluxe Molded Case and certificate of authenticity!
The redesigned Fender American Professional II Stratocaster offers an ergonomic feel, solid hardware and classic Strat sounds.
New bridge construction, perfect playing characteristics
With the new 2-point Tremolo of the American Professional II Stratocaster, Fender improves both the functionality of the bridge system and the sound of the instrument. To this end, the construction uses a cold-rolled steel block, which gives the Strat sound additional Sustain and a character rich in overtones. The classic Stratocaster neck foot has also been improved. Thanks to its contoured shape, it now offers enough space for the left hand when playing in the high registers and allows precise playing techniques across the entire fretboard. In addition, changing positions is now almost effortless, as the player-friendly Super Natural Satin Finish of the Deep C maple neck provides an unusually smooth support for the thumb.
V-Mod II Stratocaster Single Coils & Revised Electronics
The V-Mod II single coil pickups used in the American Professional II Strats have been precisely matched to their respective positions on the neck, middle or bridge, allowing each pickup to make the most of the Stratocaster's three classic PU positions. All three pickups are controlled via a common Master volume, while the bridge pickup is assigned its own tone control. Thanks to Treble Bleed Circuit, the volume can be easily turned down without losing the clear and defined trebles in the sound. For additional sound variety, the neck pickup can now also be added to the circuit for Tele-like sounds in switching positions 1 and 2 via the push/push function of the second tone control.

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster RW Anniversary 2-Color Sunburst
The sound of this guitar blew me out of the water. Even before plugging it in. It just sounds amazing! The craftsman ship is top notch. Neck is a nice size for fretting hand and the fretboard is unbelievably smooth for hammer-ons, etc. Very versatile in regards to changing tones. An all round win!

Story starts with a change: the same day I ordered the guitar, I changed my mind, sent an email that can You change my order? The reply came on the same day saying that the order was already sent so you cannot change it anymore. I thought; wow, fast delivery, hopefully I can get my guitar to next gig anyways! Well, to be honest, the info about shipped parcel came 4 days after, so I thought that the store guy was a bit tired... I started to follow the order: The shipping company promised to bring my guitar on xx date. They didn't come, didn't call, I was scared. Day after they sent me an email that driver didn't have my phone number, so he could not deliver to parcel. What? I checked my info in order and all the details were recorded! It happened, that Music Store personnel did not include my phone number to sending information. After few days and several emails and calls I decided to go to shippinf company. myself. Friendly personnel found my "lost" guitar in 5 minutes and I got my beatutiful guitar in very tired carton box with crouches, noches and teared corners (Itook a video while opening the treasure) without damages! I was happy to receive a BEUATIFUL guitar in a perfect conditipon after 5 days "lost in travelling", unfortunately after the gig I promised to play with it.
