Kenny Wayne Shepherd Gives a Rundown on the Fender American Professional Stratocaster:
Developed by pickup master Tim Shaw, the brand-new V-Mod single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position, mixing alnico magnet types to produce powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern "Deep C"-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.

This was my first mid to high priced guitar I wanted to wait till I had a few years under my belt of playing before I made a large investment to ensure I would stick with playing which I have and I've fell in love with the guitar. With that said the actual guitar itself came in excellent condition and all the pickups worked flawlessly ( hate to hear other ppls bad experience ) and the guitar sounds amazing. I couldnt have been happier with it honestly. Not much else to say other than I'd deff recommend!
