Fender 2024 American Professional II Stratocaster - Miami Blue (Pre-owned)

This 2024 American Professional II Strat in a fetching Miami Blue finish is in excellent condition and ready to be put through its paces.  There is a minor rectangular crack in the lacquer at the back of the neck (see back of headstock and centre of detail photos) that is only faintly detectable to the touch.  The guitar comes with a Cayaha hardshell case ST (photos pending).

Fender say:

"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 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."
