It's been a few months now since the release of the new Fender American Professional II series, and boy have we had a lot of fun getting to know and experiment with these guitars.

The American Professional II series offers classic Fender style, hand craftsmanship, premium hardware and electronics, and a stunning variety of classic, as well as new, colors. These guitars and basses are designed for discerning professional players, aspiring musicians, enthusiasts and even beginners who desire a state-of-the-art Fender that plays like a dream and is packed with modern innovations.

The Fender design and engineering team left no aspect of these instruments overlooked; necks, fingerboards, bodies, bridges, pickups, electronics and finishes have been refined and upgraded to create a premium player experience.

We're joined by Vini who is going to give us the ins and outs of this series and if they've lived up to the hype!
