70 Years of Stratocaster Heritage, Reinvented
This American Professional II 70th Anniversary continues the lineage of Strats that have shaped modern music. It combines traditional Fender alder with an elegant flamed maple top and incorporates the American Pro II range?s design cues with commemorative details (70th plate). The result is a Strat that is both familiar and contemporary, designed for both stage and studio.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a versatile and precise Strat. From punchy funk to modern pop-rock, including blues, indie, and sculpted surf-style cleans, it covers a wide spectrum without losing the classic "Strat" character.
Sound
The V-Mod II 70th Anniversary deliver expressive single-coil tones: tight lows, present mids, and bright highs without harshness. The 5-position selector offers classic "quack" in-between positions, while the push-push (on Tone 2) activates the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2, adding the rarely available "bridge+neck" and "all pickups" colors on a Strat. The alder body + flamed maple top provide clarity and attack, the cold-rolled steel block enhances sustain and definition, and the curved steel saddles preserve the typical sparkle.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
A set of nickel-plated strings 009?042 (factory setup) to maintain feel and tension balance. The "Inca Silver" ABS molded case included for transport and protection.
