Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today announced the next evolution of American Professional, its flagship series of electric guitars and basses. Built around some of the most recognizable shapes in music – including the Precision Bass, Precision Bass V, Jazz Bass and Jazz Bass V – the refreshed series brings new player-focused design and performance upgrades to instruments that continue to shape how music is played and performed today.

Fender was built on original ideas – instruments designed from scratch that changed what music could sound like. Eight decades later, that commitment to original design, innovation and craftsmanship continues to shape how Fender builds, with American Professional representing the latest expression of that philosophy.

These are not interchangeable instruments. For generations, Fender’s most iconic designs have carried distinct identities – shaped by their sound, feel and the artists who make them their own. From Strat players to Tele devotees, each has its own personality and fiercely loyal following across generations and creative communities.

The refreshed American Professional series honors that identity while continuing to evolve for the way musicians play today. Every update is rooted in the people who build the instruments, the experimentation behind their development and the player insight that helps Fender determine what to preserve, what to refine and what to rethink.
