Fender American Professional II Stratocaster® 3-Color Sunburst

Available at Vera Guitars in Charlotte, NC, this American-made guitar combines classic aesthetics with cutting-edge innovations for players who demand professional performance and timeless style.
American Professional II Series
The American Professional II series represents Fender's commitment to continuous improvement while honoring tradition. Building on decades of feedback from professional players, this series features upgraded pickups, refined neck profiles, and modern appointments that make it the most versatile and playable Stratocaster Fender has ever produced for working musicians.

V-Mod II Pickups: Vintage-voiced single-coils with enhanced clarity, warmth, and output

2-Point Synchronized Tremolo: Smooth vibrato with pop-in arm for quick setup changes
Narrow Tall Frets: Modern wire for effortless bending and precise intonation
9.5" Radius Fingerboard: Modern radius ideal for both chording and string bending
Rosewood Fingerboard: Warm tone and smooth playing surface
Deluxe Molded Case: Premium protection with plush interior and TSA-approved latches
V-Mod II Pickup Technology
At the heart of this Stratocaster are Fender's proprietary V-Mod II single-coil pickups. These aren't vintage reissues - they're modern interpretations voiced for today's players while maintaining classic Stratocaster character. Each pickup is uniquely voiced for its position: the bridge delivers cutting clarity perfect for lead work, the middle provides balanced tone, and the neck offers warm, smooth sounds. The result is the most versatile Stratocaster tone palette Fender has ever created.
3-Color Sunburst Finish
The classic 3-Color Sunburst finish is timeless - a beautiful blend of amber, red, and black that highlights the alder body's elegant contours. This iconic finish has graced countless legendary Stratocasters and looks stunning on stage or in the studio. The gloss polyester finish protects the body while allowing it to resonate naturally, delivering both beauty and tone.
Modern Playability
The Deep C neck profile strikes the perfect balance - substantial enough to feel like a real guitar, slim enough for fast playing and comfortable chording. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck eliminates stickiness, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with narrow tall frets and a 9.5" radius fingerboard, this guitar plays as good as it looks.
Professional Appointments
Every detail reflects professional-grade quality: bone nut for superior tone, 2-point tremolo for tuning stability, narrow tall frets for modern playability, and a deluxe molded case for premium protection. These aren't budget compromises - they're thoughtful upgrades that enhance your playing experience.
Perfect For:
Whether you're a professional player demanding reliable performance night after night, a recording artist seeking versatile tone for any session, an intermediate guitarist ready to upgrade to American quality, or a Stratocaster enthusiast who wants modern innovation with classic style, this 3-Color Sunburst beauty delivers. Its combination of proven design, premium features, and professional performance makes it the ultimate working musician's Stratocaster.
