Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional guitars’ “Deep C” neck profile sports more substantial shoulders for a more natural.

Two new colors have been added to the mix, with Candy Apple Red and Natural accompanying the Sonic Gray, Mystic Seafoam and Antique Olive that were added earlier in 2016.
