Forged from over seven decades of continuous innovation, inspiration, and evolution, the American Professional Stratocaster is meticulously crafted to satisfy the needs of the modern working musician. You will immediately notice the deep "C" neck, which provides a supremely comfortable feel thanks to its smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish, and a newly sculpted heel that ensures effortless access to the upper register. Sonically, this instrument is powered by new V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil pickups, which offer heightened articulation while maintaining that signature warmth and bell-like chime. Every adjustment is smooth and consistent, courtesy of ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers that provide reliable, effortless performance through a musical taper, custom torque, and precise resistance. The upgraded 2-point tremolo features a cold-rolled steel block to boost your sustain, clarity, and high-end sparkle. Furthermore, the ClassicGear radial bent-steel saddles are engineered for the working player, allowing for simple intonation and action adjustments while utilizing recessed screws that remain out of your way regardless of how vigorously you play. By blending instant familiarity with impressive sonic versatility, the American Pro Stratocaster sets a new standard for professional instruments through a wide array of meaningful improvements you can hear and feel from the very first note.
