Fender American Professional II Stratocaster Electric Guitar (Dark Night)

The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster brings classic three-pickup versatility together with refined playability for rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances. Its alder body features a gloss urethane Dark Night finish with black controls, pickup covers, switch tip, and pickguard for a distinctive stage presence.

Three V Mod II single-coil Stratocaster pickups are voiced for their individual positions, producing clear articulation, bell-like chime, and warm response. A 5-position blade switch provides the familiar bridge, middle, neck, and combined pickup sounds. The push-push second tone control adds the neck pickup in switch positions 1 and 2, opening 2 additional tonal combinations.

The maple neck uses Fender’s Deep C profile, a satin urethane finish on the back, and smoothly rolled rosewood fingerboard edges. A 9.5-inch radius, 22 narrow tall frets, and a bone nut support comfortable chord work, clean bends, and fluid movement across the neck. The sculpted heel and beveled neck plate also improve access to the upper register.

The two-point synchronized tremolo uses bent steel saddles, a pop-in tremolo arm, and a cold-rolled steel block. This configuration supports smooth tremolo action while adding sustain, clarity, and high-frequency sparkle. Staggered sealed tuning machines, a treble bleed circuit, vintage-style strap buttons, and the included deluxe molded case complete a versatile instrument built for regular professional use.
