Here for sale we have a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS in Olympic White finish. Made in the USA in 2022, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a 2-point Synchronized Tremolo with Cold-Rolled Steel block and Fender Standard Staggered tuning machines. A trio of pickups are installed in an HSS configuration, with a Seymour Duncan SH4 in the bridge position and two Fender V-Mod II Strat Single-Coils in the neck and middle positions. These are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck/middle tone and bridge tone controls, with a push/push bridge coil split on tone 2.
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. The sculpted neck heel enhances access to the upper frets, really opening up the full range of the instrument. Players who use the thumb are well accommodated by the rolled fingerboard edges, and the narrow tall frets assist with fast notes, bending and vibrato. The Rosewood fretboard of this particular example is particularly dark and tight-grained.
The trio of pickups in this guitar are installed in an HSS configuration, with a pair of Fender V-Mod II Strat Single-Coils in the neck and middle positions, and a Seymour Duncan SH4 in the bridge. The SH4 in the bridge is nice and hot, delivering searing crunch and distortion sounds for a seriously hot-rodded Strat tone. The pair of Fender V-Mod II single coils in the neck and middle provide traditional Stratocaster sounds, with crystal cleans and crunchy drive tones readily available. The push/push coil split allows you to obtain a more traditional Stratocaster tone from the bridge pickup, making this an exceptionally versatile instrument.
