This series contains different models, including the Stratocaster, the Telecaster, the Jazzmaster, the Jaguar, the Jazz Bass, and the Precision Bass.

The American Professional II Stratocaster HSS

This series, naturally, also contains a Stratocaster model. This model is the result of more than 60 years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution. The guitar thus contains loads of improvements compared to previous models, including a C-shape neck with a “super-natural” satin finish. This makes the neck more comfortable to hold and improves your playing. Furthermore, the Stratocaster has two V-Mod II single coil pickups and a Double Tap humbucker pickup. This gives you access to a fuller and warmer sound than with a standard Stratocaster, often associated with Les Pauls. With the 5-way switch you can thus choose between five different pickup configurations, making it a lot more versatile. Moreover, the guitar is made of the best possible materials, with an alder body, a maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard. A case is included with the guitar.
