The American Professional II Strat brings touches previously reserved for Custom Shop instruments to a production guitar. Lightweight alder, smoothly rolled fingerboard edge, sculpted neck heel and a satin neck finish. Freshly revised V-Mod II pickups add articulation and warmth to classic Strat chime, while the upgraded 2-point synchronized tremolo with its cold-rolled steel block adds sustain and increases clarity while adding a touch of high-end sparkle.
