Fender American Professional 2 Precision
Just like the early P-Basses, the body of this AP2 Precision is alder – and in terms of resonance and weight, it’s the perfect tonewood for the job. It imparts a warmth and harmonic richness, and is lighter and less dense than the ash or maple used on some past Precisions. The neck is a flawless piece of maple finished in the new ‘supernatural’ satin. Like all American Pro Fender guitars, it features internal ‘Posiflex’ graphite reinforcement rods, which help stability while still enabling a degree of truss rod adjustment. A new feature of the AP II is the sculpted heel joint. This was a feature on the later versions of the American Deluxe Precisions, as well as the Elite series, although the latter had a slightly different contour. The result is a highly desirable iteration of the classic P template.
