Selling my Fender American Professional II Stratocaster in Natural Roasted Pine.
The guitar is in like-new condition with zero fretwear. It is an exceptionally resonant, lightweight example, weighing in at just 3.36 kg (noticeably lighter than typical 3.6+ kg alder Stratocasters).
It is currently upgraded with a VegaTrem VT1 vibrato system featuring the upgraded solid brass block (exceptional tuning stability, silky smooth travel, and added warmth/sustain). The original Fender 2-point tremolo with cold-rolled steel block is fully included in the sale.
Full Disclosure / Technical Note:
During the installation of the VegaTrem fulcrum plate, the very tip of the screw grazed the bottom of one of the front tremolo bushing holes into the rear spring cavity, leaving a tiny pinhole through to the back.
Zero Structural Impact: The tremolo bushing seating, posts, and wood surrounding the bridge anchors are 100% solid, rigid, and intact with zero play. The bridge operates under full string tension with complete stability.
Purely Cosmetic Seal: The tiny opening was sealed using Titebond wood glue and a solid wood toothpick plug purely as a cosmetic touch-up to keep the rear cavity clean and prevent dust from passing through.
It is completely hidden inside the spring cavity under the backplate and has zero effect on tone, setup, or tremolo function.
