Fender Stratocaster American Professional II Mn Sunburst

The Modern Stratocaster at the Heart of the American Professional Range

Heir to over sixty years of Fender innovations, the American Professional II reinvents the "contemporary" Stratocaster without betraying its DNA. This maple fingerboard version embodies the standard for the discerning musician: revised ergonomics (sculpted heel, beveled neck plate), handpicked components, and electronics designed for both stage and studio.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

Designed for intermediate to expert levels, it excels in pop, funk, blues, rock, and indie. Its precise dynamics and quick response will appeal equally to rhythm players with percussive style and soloists seeking clean bends and reliable intonation across the entire fretboard.

Sound

The V-Mod II single-coil pickups deliver the classic Strat tone: firm lows, defined mids, and shimmering highs, with controlled background noise. The 5-position selector covers essential tonal textures, while the push-push control adds the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2 to achieve very musical "neck+bridge" or "three pickups" combinations. The 2-point tremolo, combined with the cold-rolled steel block, enhances sustain and brightness, and the alder body plus maple fingerboard provide attack and clarity, ideal for cutting through the mix without harshness. The Treble Bleed circuit preserves the highs when lowering the volume, ensuring a lively palette at all levels.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

A set of nickel-plated steel strings 009-042 (Fender USA reference 250L) will preserve the original feel and tonal balance. Add a quality strap and a reliable 6.35 mm jack cable for the stage; the included deluxe molded case provides optimal protection during transport.
