Professional is an attitude. Creativity is a way of life. These instruments are built for players who are looking to push the boundaries of creativity and personal expression forwards.

THE AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL SERIES
The Sound
V-Mod pickups—crafted with a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types—and the newly redesigned ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position.
The Sensation
The new “Deep C” neck profile offers more substantial shoulders, creating a comfortably natural playing feel. American Professional Precision Bass guitars use the ‘63 P Bass® neck profile while the Jazz Bass features our fast-playing, slim “Modern C”-shaped profile..
The Style
We’ve added three new models to the American Professional Series: the Tele® Deluxe, Jazzmaster® and Jaguar® guitars. Three new colors—Sonic Gray, Mystic Seafoam and Antique Olive—are joined by the revival of our instantly recognizable Butterscotch Blonde (available only on Tele models).
