Fender American Professional II Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard (Da...
The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster in Dark Night pairs familiar Stratocaster response with refined control for demanding players. Its alder body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard create a classic solid body foundation, while three V-Mod II single coil pickups provide position specific voices with clear highs, warm response, and balanced tone. The result is a versatile electric guitar for articulate rhythm work, expressive lead lines, and layered studio parts.
Expanded Stratocaster Voices
A 5 position blade selector covers the expected bridge, middle, neck, and combined settings. The push push control on the second tone knob can add the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2, opening two additional combinations. A treble bleed circuit helps retain high frequencies as the master volume is reduced, so cleaner passages and volume changes remain defined.
Comfort Across the Fingerboard
The Deep C maple neck has rolled fingerboard edges and a Super-Natural satin urethane finish on the back. A sculpted neck heel improves access to the upper register, while 22 narrow tall frets and a 9.5 inch radius support smooth chording, bends, and single note playing. A bone nut and 25.5 inch scale complete the familiar Fender feel.
The 2 point synchronized tremolo combines bent steel saddles, a pop in arm, and a cold rolled steel block for responsive pitch control, clarity, and sustain. Staggered sealed tuning machines complete the hardware setup. A deluxe molded case is included for storage and transport.
