Independent shopping perspective
The American Professional II Roasted Pine Stratocaster HSS combines V-Mod II single-coils at the neck and middle with a Shawbucker humbucker at the bridge. A push-push tone control switches the bridge humbucker into its coil-split sound, giving the pickup layout an additional control option. The lightweight roasted pine body is paired with a satin-finished maple neck, rolled rosewood fingerboard edges, and a contoured heel. Its two-point tremolo carries a cold-rolled steel block, while narrow-tall frets are described as making bends and vibrato easier.
