Fender 70th Anniversary American Professional II Stratocaster Guitar, Rosewood Fretboard, Comet Burst

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

From the garage, to the local club, to the stadium/arena, this 70th Anniversary American Professional II Stratocaster is the workhorse do-it-all Strat you've been looking for - and it looks incredible while doing it, too!

Topped with gorgeous flame maple and finished in a stunning Comet Burst, this very special guitar marries Fender's vintage heritage with their own modern innovation. This classic instrument has been brought into the 21st century with all the features a working musician needs to succeed both in the studio and on stage.

This awesome Strat features a super-comfortable "Deep C" neck that feels reminiscent of a vintage-style neck, but is streamlined for much faster speed and playability. It also has an ultra-stable 2-point tremolo that combines the vintage tone of the classic bent steel saddles and cold-rolled steel tremolo block, but with much improved tuning stability.

The V-Mod II single-coil pickups are full of vintage tone while providing a bit more edge and punch. The difference is subtle, but effective in adding to the versatility of this classic design, and the push-push switch allows for even more tonal combinations with the ability to add the neck pickup in any position.

Whether you're after rich, creamy leads out of the neck pickup, signature Strat quack in the neck/middle position, or you're looking for country twang out of the pokey bridge along with effortless yet classic Fender playability, this Strat is going to take care of you for years and years to come, without a doubt.
