    The American Professional II Stratocaster draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player.
    Our popular Deep “C” neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.
    The American Pro II Stratocaster HSS delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.

    Small detail but really like how this guy as he rolls down the Tone plays something very appropriate to represent a context of when and for what would you like the tone down.

    Really want one of these. I wished Fender would have offered it with matching headstock color. That would be cool.

      It almost doesn't make any sense that they wouldn't have. Just finished replying to another guy who said the same thing; the headstock looks out of place on this dark guitar-even if it is an Am Strat. The Miami Blue would look even cooler with it too. Heck, even on that orangey Roasted Pine one, some sort of honey lacquer would look nice.

    @6:25 Without the push push, it's the outer coil of the HB, and middle pickup, and with the push push, you say it's the HB in single coil with the middle pickup...so what's different? Is it using the inner coil instead? Is that the difference?

    IMO the Vmod pickups don't sound like classic strat pickups in the neck and middle. They have a flubby, thick combination of bass and mids. To me it doesn't seem like Fender have improved since the 3rd and 4th gen noiseless pickups.
