Player's Perspective
New for 2017 is this limited edition American Professional in Silverburst with a jet black upgraded ebony fretboard!
This American Pro HSS keeps the Strat platform intact while venturing into new sonic territory. That humbucker in the bridge is a totally new design crafted by Tim Shaw, one of the top pickup gurus in the industry. This pickup has a whole lot of vintage humbucker in its DNA. Not overwound and never too bright, it breathes in a way that you rarely hear from new designs these days. There's great depth and dimension, lending itself to articulate, nuanced leads, soulful mid-position bends and throaty riffs in the low end. The rest of this axe is the great playing, well balanced and enduring American Professional Strat design. You can expect an exquisitely comfortable neck that's been dialed in for decades, impeccable fretwork and quality hardware. This stylistic chameleon of a guitar is easily one of the most musical axes on the market.
