The Fender American Professional II series delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility with improvements, driven by feedback from influential artists, that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.

Made by hand in Corona, the American Professional II series is a stage-ready lineup of electric guitars and basses that embodies the best of what artists want and need.

All of the updated instruments in the American Original line marry what players have always loved about the originals with contemporary enhancements, elevated playability and best-in-class performance.

Throughout the American Original Series, each instrument boasts period-accurate pickups specially voices for the authentic sound and performance of specific model years, era-specific neck profiles sculpted for a vintage-style playing feel and original-era nitrocellulose lacquer finishes.

Contemporary updates include modern fingerboard profiles and vintage tall frets, in addition to several other details.

“The Player II Series represents our continued evolution in design and functionality,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Product, FMIC.

“We listened to the feedback from musicians around the world and incorporated their insights to refine and innovate our instruments. The re-introduction of rosewood fingerboards is a restoration of the ‘original Fender recipe’ and will no doubt be a fan favorite - but we didn’t want to stop there.

We’ve also incorporated our rolled fingerboard edges for a broken-in feel, upgraded hardware, and have some new body options as well- which underscores our commitment to providing players and creators with the tools they need to express their unique sound and style.

The Player II Series is not just an upgrade, it's a detailed re-imagining of our core silhouettes, highlighting our dedication to quality and the continuous refinement of our instruments.”
