Product Description

The Fender American Professional Strat is a guitar that needs little introduction. It's got classic looks and a sound heard over countless records since the '50s. Features include V-Mod pickups, a fantastic fret design that makes bending a breeze and a comfortable tapered neck for even better playing comfort.

Professional

The American Professional range has replaced the old American Standard. Each guitar is made in Fender's Californian factory using high-end woods and hardware. Includes an official Fender hardshell case.

Pickups

The American Professional V-mod pickups have each been voiced for their individual position, rather than the same pickup put into each position as they were before. V-Mod pickups are a blend of Alnico magnet types, delivering a versatile array of crisp, sweet tones.

This model also boasts the Treble Bleed Circuit which keeps high-end frequencies pronounced even when you turn the volume control down.

Neck Shape

A new deep "C" profile neck shape combines classic '60s feel with flatter modern shoulders. The tapered neck means it’s thinner at the headstock end to play chords where you may want to get your thumb over the top to fret the E-String. The neck flattens out the higher up you go, making faster playing far more fluid.

Frets

The narrow-tall frets are ideal for big bends, reducing friction and resistance in stark contrast to some vintage frets. There's a little more room to manoeuvre because they’re slightly narrower than what you'd find on most guitars. It’s an incremental change but every little helps!

First off I should say that the last time I played an electric guitar was probably 30 years ago. So I have no idea how this guitar compares to others. Having said that, this is a thing of beauty! I've wanted a Fender Strat for sometime and reviews of it were all positive. The tonal variation from the 3 pick ups is just beautiful, and it's such an easy guitar to play up the fretboard. I love it. And doesn't it look awesome! It comes with a top notch quality hard case and spare strings. I almost gave it 4 stars just because I feel that when you're spending this sort of money, you should at least get a manual. As well the clear plastic on the pickguard is starting to bubble and I had to look for advice online about its removal. All in all though I love my new purchase from Andertons. If you buy one I cannot believe you'll be anything but delighted.
