Fender American Pro Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard (with Case)

Fender pushes the limits of the Stratocaster with the American Pro series. A trio of mixed-alnico V-Mod single-coil pickups evoke the tones of yesteryear.

"Great guitar"

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!

My guitar arrived in two days. Great job zZounds. The guitar was set up professionally. The neck is straight as a pin. The action and intonation being close to perfect. Not one blemish in the paint. Excellent quality. I couldn’t be happier with a product. Thanks again zZounds.

"Perfect in every way"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Far too long I bought cheap guitar after cheap guitar with high expectations. Most of the time I was satisfied with a "it's good enough" attitude. This time I decided to finally own my first American made instrument and wow, am I beyond impressed. This guitar is perfect in every way. It came set up perfect right out of the box and zZounds is (as always), awesome to deal with. Everything from the tone to the finish on the antique olive Strat is perfect. I love it.

"2019 Strat."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought the 2017 in 2017 and was so happy with it that seven months ago I also decided to purchased the 2019 too. These honeys virtually play themselves and require no fighting with the strings to fret chords or speed pick. You won't grow any big hand and finger muscles trying to play these easy, smooth playing instruments. They're also of the utmost quality, the QC was on point, the construction and paint jobs are flawless, and the tones are to die for. And zZounds gets 'em to you fast...which is always a plus.

Musical Background:

"Fender American Pro Strat"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I've read where several people had complaints about this instrument, however, I have this same axe in the 2017 model and I must say it's a dream in every way. I can hardly put it down at night and my wife often has to take it from my hands to get me to go to bed.

I purchases this and man is zZounds fast about shipping. Came in 2 days, super excited. Unbox. Go through all of the stuff in the case. Plug it up and wouldn't you know it... middle pickup is dead. Nothing but a low buzz. Not a reflection on zZounds... but all of Fender's QC processes and I wind up with this. Super deflated... I'd halfway expect this with a Squier or something cheap... but at $1500 I'd expect an american made strat to at LEAST function. So I'm kinda pissed now... Guitar looks great... and positions 1,2,4, & 5 sound good... but I get nothing from position three. Bummer. I'll do another review when I get the replacement strat in. :(Thank you zZounds for your amazing customer support.
