The Strat, Evolved.
Here’s the real deal on a modern classic—a pre-owned 2020 American Professional II Stratocaster for all the southpaw slingers out there. This isn’t just another Strat; it’s the culmination of over sixty years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution. Fender took what we all love about the Stratocaster and pushed it just a bit further. The result? A guitar that feels instantly familiar but offers a whole new level of playability and sonic flexibility. Dressed in a stunning Mystic Surf Green finish, this guitar has some serious vibe before you even plug it in.
Modern Feel, Classic Soul
The magic starts with the neck. Fender’s Deep “C” profile is the perfect middle ground—substantial enough to grab onto for big chords, but slim enough for effortless soloing. The back of the neck has a smooth, “Super-Natural” satin finish that feels like a well-worn friend, so you’ll never feel your hand sticking or slowing down. And with 22 narrow-tall frets and a 9.5″ radius maple fingerboard, bending notes is a buttery-smooth dream. This neck was built for comfort and speed, whether you’re playing for ten minutes or four hours.
The Voice of a Legend, Refined
Under the hood, this Strat is loaded with a trio of V-Mod II single-coil pickups. These were designed to deliver that iconic Strat chime and sparkle, but with enhanced clarity and articulation. They’re vintage-voiced but with a modern precision that cuts through a mix without getting harsh. But the real secret weapon is the push-push tone control. This little switch adds the neck pickup to positions one and two, unlocking those coveted Tele-style neck-and-bridge tones or letting all three pickups sing together for a full, funky voice you can’t get on a standard Strat. It’s a massive expansion of your tonal palette.
