Fender Stratocaster American Professional II RW Transparent Surf Green

The Thinline Stratocaster at the Heart of the American Professional II Range

This American Professional II Stratocaster Thinline combines the timeless DNA of the Strat with a semi-hollow construction. The Thinline concept delivers an airy feel, a woodier response, and natural sustain, while maintaining the ergonomics and reliability characteristic of the American Professional II series, known for its balance between Fender tradition and modern improvements designed for stage and studio.

Who Is This Thinline Stratocaster For?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an expressive and responsive Strat. Its dynamics and transparency make it a versatile instrument for blues, funk, pop, indie, and classic rock. The push-push switch that adds the neck pickup expands tonal combinations for fuller sounds, similar to a Tele in bridge+neck positions, without sacrificing the typical Strat snap.

Sound

The V-Mod II pickups deliver refined single-coil tone: sharp attacks, singing mids, and silky highs. The semi-hollow ash body adds an airy halo and natural projection, with a quick response to both fingerstyle and pick playing. The 2-point vibrato with its steel block enhances sustain and note hold, while the Treble Bleed circuit preserves brightness when lowering the volume. The result: a lively instrument that effortlessly shifts from funky clarity to vintage crunch.
