Stratocaster you are paying $ 1,000 more with the guitar priced at $ 1,999.99 . But as mentioned earlier , this is an American made instrument that will provide years or service and will more than likely go up in value over the years .
For a Praise team leader or player , the versatility of the 70 th Anniversary American Professional
II Stratocaster will deliver consistently every time and give you more tonal options than a traditional Strat .
The only thing to be aware of is that the neck is a bit wider with the Deep C shape so if you don ’ t prefer a heartier neck , then this Stratocaster might not be the one for you .
KEY FEATURES
The Satin finish neck and narrow tall frets do compensate for the increased nut width . Fender has combined the best features from their history of the Stratocaster and the required updates from today to create the 70 th Anniversary American Professional II Stratocaster . It was a joy to play and test out for this review .
