Keeping everything that made its predecessor so great, the American Pro II Strat is easier to play and offers greater tonal flexibility thanks to some small yet noteworthy refinements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey updates include Fender’s brand new V-Mod II pickups, an ultra-fast “Super Natural” neck finish and an ergonomic sculpted heel for superb upper fret access.

However, this upgraded model provides an extra sense of comfort thanks to its smooth rolled fingerboard edges; combined with the new “Super Natural” satin finish that allows you to effortlessly glide up and down the neck with zero hindrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBalanced Alder Body\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Professional II Strat’s flawlessly-crafted neck is joined with an Alder body. A Fender favourite since the ‘50s, Alder serves as a brillant sonic foundation for the single-coil trio thanks to its even tonal properties - punchy lows, barking mid-range and sweet highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eV-Mod II Pickups\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender’s brand new V-Mod II pickups breathe fresh life into the American Professional Stratocaster.
