Excellent condition! The guitar shows a few signs of wear, but is overall in stellar shape,There may be a few scuffs and scratches but all of which is very minor and I d rate the guitar an easy 8.5/10 cosmetically. This will include the original hard shell tsa case, however it is currently in storage. I have the coa, trem arm, and all original paperwork in there as well.

Almost too beautiful to play.

originally posted on guitarcenter.com

I found a 2023 version of this guitar in the used section at GC. I could not believe anyone had ever played it. It's absolutely pristine. The pictures that I've seen don't do justice to the finish. After changing strings I decked the vibrato, did a quick setup, and it was ready to play.The V-mods are particularly bright on the pine body, but the tone controls lets you get that under control easily enough. I'm not finding much use for the push-push switch, but some players will. The neck has a little body to it that may attract folks that have more vintage preferences.I have trouble putting it back in the case at the end of the day. It's such a stunner.

An Awesome American Strat - Flawless

I purchased a SSS American Pro II Strat in Mercury, with GC ponying up BOTH a LARGE discount AND 48-month zero financing. I was planning on having a pro setup done, but the guitar came perfectly new and setup right out of the case. I only had to lower the action a small bit and tweak the intonation a very small bit. I am leaving with normal 'float' like Leo intended. Tuning stability is top notch; this never goes out of tune (although I am an infrequent trem user). Regardless, the tuning stability with a 'float' is impressive. I really like a LOT the new push-push neck-pickup functionality as it really goes great with the bridge pickup.

The only thing that it had going for it was that it was a beautiful instrument. I was much happier with my Ibanez and it was less money.Overall:I had to send it back because the electronics didn’t work after I waited months for it to come off of backorder.

Fantastic Guitar !
11 July 2023

Overall:I had forgotten how the Fender neck fits my hand like a glove and this guitar certainly does that. Also, it is exceptionally gorgeous in the Dark Night color, and needing a guitar that is lighter than my Gibson Les Paul Classic after having a 2nd back surgery, this Strat definitely fits the bill (I don't know the exact weight of the Les Paul or Strat (I think the listed weights include the hard shell cases) but the Strat is significantly lighter. On the down side, I was disappointed to find that the strat comes with the "plastic" molded case and did not include a strap (not even a nylon seat belt strap) while in contrast the Les Paul came with a traditional Gibson case and premium leather strap. Moreover, the Les Paul was set up near perfectly out of the ... MoreOverall:I had forgotten how the Fender neck fits my hand like a glove and this guitar certainly does that.

Moreover, the Les Paul was set up near perfectly out of the box while the Stratocaster needs a set up to get the strings evenly distributed above the neck for the entire length of the fretboard. Finally, the American Owner's manual is mostly in Espanol (which I do NOT speak nor read) and especially pertinent is the section describing the installation and use of the tremolo arm is entirely in espanol; which, after popping the tremolo arm in (wit with a LOT of force) will NOT come out : I ended up having to turn to YouTube to discover this is a common issue with the Fender tremolo arms. Overall I am VERY pleased with the purchase but I cannot help noting that Fender could have done better : better case (unless you don't mind plastic) a strap could have been included, the set up could be MUCH better, and the owner's manual certainly SHOULD be in (or at VERY least contain both) ENGLISH for an AMERICAN edition of guitar. Aside from these issues the guitar feels, plays, and sounds FANTASTIC.Bob H.

Great Guitar
19 September 2024

I ordered this guitar about 2 weeks ago and have been playing it since it arrived. The Sienna Sunburst finish is awesome and it allows the woodgrain to show through, which is nice. I have three strats in my collection now, all American Professionals and I can tell the difference between these and the earlier models. I never bought a strat or tele because the necks were far too thin for me. Paper thin is how I described them. Being a Gibson man for many years, I always liked that beefy neck where you could get your hand around it and really dig into the fretboard. With these, the problem has been solved. The necks are rounder and really feel good. Of course, that's not where it ends. This new strat also has that push/push switch that activates the neck pick up with ... MoreI ordered this guitar about 2 weeks ago and have been playing it since it arrived.

The necks are rounder and really feel good. Of course, that's not where it ends. This new strat also has that push/push switch that activates the neck pick up with the bridge and the second position as well. It gives it a beefier tone in my opinion and it should have been thought of long ago. But I love it. Just the way this guitar looks alone on a stand is something special on it's own. I plan on using it for many recordings and, if possible live performances as well. As always, Brad was a big help and I always enjoy how I get a confirmation call when I order anything from Sweetwater. They know what customer service is all about and I rarely shop anywhere else when I'm in need of music gear. If you are thinking of ordering one of these, please do. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Great Guitar but expect a little more from Fender's Flagship Guitar
20 August 2023

Overall:Purchased the Fender American Stratocaster professional 2 in Dark Midnight over 2 months ago, and have had time to properly evaluate it. First off the upside, I LOVE, the color and the finish is flawless, I'm grateful to see Fender doing something other than traditional colors. Have owned several Fenders over my 50 years of playing, and the Maple Fretboard is one of the best I have ever played, comparable to my $2,500 Les Paul Classic in playability. The pickups sound great, as expected, and love the push-push pot too. The guitar plays like a dream overall and I have no MAJOR complaints, especially in comparison to more expensive guitars like the Gibson Les Paul. NOW the down side : would have liked a choice in hard shell cases (wanted a traditional case) ... MoreOverall:Purchased the Fender American Stratocaster professional 2 in Dark Midnight over 2 months ago, and have had time to properly evaluate it.

NOW the down side : would have liked a choice in hard shell cases (wanted a traditional case) and while the all plastic case they provide is great for a travelling or touring musician, I am not one and would have preferred a case suitable for MY needs. I would have also liked to see Fender roll the fretboard edges for that broken in feel; moreover, when I popped in the tremolo arm I found I could not extract it, so I looked to the instructions that came with the guitar and find they're NOT offered in ENGLISH (TOTALLY unacceptable for "American made" Fender) & would have liked a tremolo with a hex nut to secure it instead of the current pop in system, which after Googling I find is a common system problem. Additionally, the tremolo arm knob simply fell off after a.couple of days (NOT due to my efforts, I left the arm inserted when I couldn't easily extract the arm and still cannot place the guitar in the case because of the arm being stuck in the guitar) and find it wasn't threaded to accept the threads on the metal tremolo arm ? I secured the knob with plumber's tape wrapped around it to keep the knob on. While these are MINOR issues, it just isn't what I expected from a $1,650 NEW American made Fender & I'm NOT impressed (they didn't provide much case candy either : no wrench or strap as Gibson provides, just an allen wrench, case keys, and a useless instruction manual in EVERY language EXCEPT English & their online instructions do NOT cover extracting the tremolo arm). Despite these issues, I WOULD buy another Fender, and find The American Stratocaster professional 2 sounds and plays as well as Gibsons (and I was pushed toward the Fender, by Gibson, whom after spending $2,500 on their Les Paul Classic in 2022 a year later devalued it by offering it for $2,199 in 2023

Great Guitar!!!
30 October 2023

Overall:Paying homage to an early 90's Mexi Strat that I had and unfortunately sold back when I was a young lad. What a great guitar these new models are! I have the Olympic white with rosewood fretboard. The best way I can describe it is "Vintage and new tones in high definition". Superb feel on the neck with the satin finish and the rosewood fingerboard as well. Love the push-push button to add the neck pickup into positions 1 & 2. Such a cool new vibe and so much fun to play. Great job Fender!!! zZounds is great too. Had a few issues with the guitar when it arrived (Fender needs to get a little better with their quality control). So they offered me a decent credit amount to keep it. Which I happily did because I cant put her down!

Master of clean tones
13 February 2023

The Fender American Professional II really shines on all the clean tones, it's amazing. I can't compare the clarity of the tones with any other guitar I own, including a Fender telecaster and a Gibson les Pauls (they have other merits). The push/push button is a nice added feature, and though they sell it as a telecaster sound, it still can't beat the real deal. It does give you some more sound range nevertheless. The power behind the pickups is also very noticeable which makes it even better.Coming to playability, the maple neck feels like silk. It is so smooth and soft to play you'd just grab the guitar for the sole purpose of sliding your fingers across the fretboard. The entire instrument shows craftsmanship and sturdiness. The tremolo is also quite nice and ... MoreThe Fender American Professional II really shines on all the clean tones, it's amazing.

The tremolo is also quite nice and stays where you left it.As with all single coils, it is my feeling this guitar rocks in the clear or low-level distortion (crunch, overdrive, ...), but it fails to deliver on high-level distortion even when combining the pickups in the middle settings. For that you need real hum buckers.The final verdict is that this is an amazing instrument and I'm going to love every minute playing it.

My first strat, and I'm loving it
31 May 2024

I've been a Gibson/PRS guy for 30 years. I got used to those fatter necks, and could never connect with anything Fender because of the neck. But I got saw this on a scratch and dent sale in Richmond VA. I loved the color, and I've always loved the Strat sound, so I gave it whirl. It's the first Fender that's really spoken to me. The Deep C neck solidified it for me.I love the sound, playability, and everything about it really. The blemish was minor, but the deal was unbeatable. I traded in my PRS S2 McCarty 594, and I can't put down my new strat - which I named Essie, after my Grandmother's sister who died young.The push-push is a really nice addition as well, basically giving you 7 pickup sounds to choose from.

That was important to me, because my PRS had split coil humbuckers, making it a "do it all" machine. It never really got those single coil sounds quite right though, and I'm really enjoying this as something new/different than anything I've had before.

The Ultimate Strat: Fender American Professional II HSS Delivers Classic Tone and Versatility
11 September 2024

I recently purchased the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS from Sweetwater, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Sweetwater's customer service was stellar, as always. Even though I had local options, I chose Sweetwater because their service, reliability, and honesty turned around a very bad experience I had elsewhere. They really know how to make a customer feel valued. Now, onto the guitar itself—what a beauty! The Olympic White finish looks even better once you peel off the plastic from the tortoise shell pickguard. It's a classic look that's both stylish and timeless. Playability is fantastic. The neck feels incredible; it's smooth, fast, and the contoured neck heel is a game changer for comfortable play.

They make a huge difference in feel and performance. I was torn between this model and the Ultra, mainly because of the D neck on the Ultra, but the Deep C neck on this Pro II feels just right. And let's talk about the V-Mod II pickups—wow! They deliver that classic vintage Strat sound. The addition of the humbucker makes this guitar incredibly versatile and totally hum-free, which is a big plus. In the end, this Strat has become my go-to for gigs. It covers all the bases—from that quintessential Strat sound to the power of a humbucker. It's pretty much the only guitar I need now.
