Here for sale we have a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Dark Night finish. Made in the USA in 2022, this instrument features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body and Maple neck with 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. The guitar is equipped with a 2-Point Synchronized tremolo, narrow tall frets and a trio of V-Mod II single coil pickups. The standard Strat controls are upgraded to include a push-push bridge tone control which adds the neck pickup in positions 1, 2 & 3.
The Maple neck of this guitar features several refinements over Fender's standard necks, including the Deep 'C' profile, rolled fingerboard edges and 'Super-Natural' satin finish to the rear. This all adds up to a sophisticated playing experience that will suit many styles, feeling articulate, smooth and precise. Players who use the thumb are well accommodated by the rolled edges, and the narrow tall frets assist with fast notes, bending and vibrato. The sculpted neck heel is a nice modern touch which improves access to the upper frets.
Amplified, all of the Strat sounds you would expect are present in spades. The neck pickup offers warmth and clarity, and saturates beautifully when you drive the amp. The brightness of the middle and bridge pickups provide articulation and clarity, whilst retaining a bell-like chime. The addition of the push-push bridge tone control allows you to temper the brilliance of the bridge pickup and makes for a unique and slightly more mellow sound, and also offers the option to engage all three pickups in position 2 for a beefier tone.
