Fender’s flagship American Professional series gives working guitarists a gig- and studio-worthy instrument with just the right balance of classic tones, familiar feel and modern refinement.
The instrument features three Tim Shaw-designed V-Mod single-coil pickups, a new modern "Deep C”-shaped neck profile, bone nut, 22 narrow-tall frets for easier bending, and a pop-in tremolo arm for enhanced stability. Plus, the guitar's treble-bleed circuit maintains high end when turning down the volume knob to reduce gain, letting your tone shine through, no matter where the instrument’s volume is set.
