The American Professional series is the working player's Fender: classic looks and voice with the refinements a nightly gig demands. We stock American Professional II and the vintage-leaning American Professional Classic models, each inspected and set up before it ships.

About the Fender American Professional Series

The American Professional line took over from the American Standard in 2017 as Fender's core USA-built series, and the American Professional II generation refined it with V-Mod II pickups, a Deep C neck with rolled edges, and a sculpted heel. The newer American Professional Classic models lean the other way, pairing the Pro platform with vintage-style pickups, finishes, and appointments for players who want traditional Fender character with modern build quality. Between the two you get the range Fender's Corona factory does best: instruments meant to be played hard every night. Our stock is one-off and rotates; the guitar you see listed is the exact instrument you'll receive.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between American Professional II and American Professional Classic?

The Am Pro II is the modern take: V-Mod II pickups, a sculpted heel, and contemporary playability. The American Professional Classic keeps the same USA build but leans vintage, with traditional-voiced pickups, classic finishes, and old-school appointments. Choose by the sound and look you want; the build quality is the same.

Is the American Professional II good for gigging?

That's exactly what it's built for. The series was designed around working players: stable tuning, a comfortable Deep C neck with rolled edges, and pickups voiced to sit right in a live mix. It's Fender's default recommendation for a one-guitar gig rig.
