The American Professional II in Anniversary 2-Color Sunburst is that guitar. Fender took everything that's made the Strat an icon for seventy years and updated it with the kind of refinements that working players actually ask for—not the stuff that looks good in a press release. The result is a Strat that honors the past while giving you everything you need for how you play today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Anniversary finish is a throwback to Fender's early two-tone sunbursts, and it's only available in limited quantities. Under that classic finish, you'll find \u003ccite index=\"7-1\"\u003ea lightweight, contoured alder body\u003c\/cite\u003e that balances beautifully on a strap and resonates with that familiar Fender clarity. The \u003ccite index=\"11-4\"\u003eDeep \"C\" neck with rolled fingerboard edges and \"Super-Natural\" satin finish\u003c\/cite\u003e makes this one of the most comfortable Strats you'll ever play—fast when you need it, supportive when you're digging into chords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this guitar for? If you're the kind of player who wants a Strat that can handle anything—clean country leads, crunchy rock rhythm, glassy jazz chords—this is your instrument. It's built in Corona, California, and it's ready to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickups That Speak in Full Sentences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-6\"\u003eThe V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth.\u003c\/cite\u003e Fender's pickup guru Tim Shaw voiced each of the three pickups specifically for its position, so you get balanced output and clarity no matter where the five-way switch is sitting. The bridge pickup has enough snap for cutting leads, the middle pickup delivers that classic quack in positions two and four, and the neck pickup is warm without getting muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's a feature you'll actually use: \u003ccite index=\"7-22\"\u003ethe push-push function on the second tone control activates the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2\u003c\/cite\u003e, giving you two additional pickup combinations that aren't normally available on a Strat. Press the tone knob down, and suddenly you've got the neck and bridge pickups together—thick, complex, and great for lead work that needs a little more body. The treble bleed circuit keeps your high end intact when you roll back the volume, so you can clean up your tone without losing clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eModern Refinements That Actually Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-7\"\u003eThe upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.\u003c\/cite\u003e The bent steel saddles and pop-in tremolo arm make this bridge smooth and stable—you can add vibrato without worrying about tuning issues. The \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003ebone nut and 1.685-inch nut width\u003c\/cite\u003e give you a solid foundation for stable tuning and comfortable chord shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is where Fender really nailed the updates. \u003ccite index=\"11-11\"\u003eThe rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register\u003c\/cite\u003e, so when you're up at the 17th fret and beyond, you're not fighting the guitar. The \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003e22 narrow tall frets\u003c\/cite\u003e are easy to bend on, and the \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003e9.5-inch fingerboard radius\u003c\/cite\u003e is flat enough for comfortable chording but still curved enough to feel natural. The \u003ccite index=\"2-9\"\u003e25.5-inch scale length\u003c\/cite\u003e is classic Strat—bright, snappy, and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Lightweight contoured alder with gloss urethane finish in Anniversary 2-Color Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple with Deep \"C\" profile, Super-Natural satin finish, and sculpted heel for upper fret access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Maple with 9.5-inch radius, rolled edges, and 22 narrow tall frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Three V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups, voiced specifically for each position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 2-point synchronized tremolo with cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, tone 1 (neck\/middle), tone 2 (bridge) with push-push switching for neck pickup activation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Bone nut, Fender standard cast\/sealed staggered tuners, nickel\/chrome hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5 inches; Nut Width: 1.685 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Deluxe molded hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA (Corona, California)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Professional II Stratocaster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0113902803\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
