Should fit if your tuner holes match the modern 10mm size, but that has not been confirmed on this model. Worth measuring before you buy.
Why we say this
Tuner hole size on this specific model has not been independently confirmed.
Help confirm this fit
These should fit, this guitar's tuner holes are reported very close to standard, but the exact hole size has not been independently confirmed, so a snug fit is possible.
Why we say this
One forum source cites the American Professional II's peghead holes at 10.26mm, slightly larger than the 10mm bore confirmed on the Player series. Not a manufacturer spec sheet figure, so treat the exact size as unconfirmed even though the tuner family is the same.
Help confirm this fit
These should fit closely, this guitar's tuner holes are reported very close to standard, but the exact size has not been independently confirmed here, so measure first if you want certainty.
Why we say this
Fender's own site is reported to cite this guitar's peghead holes at 10.26mm, slightly larger than the plain 10mm bore these tuners are built for. Not pulled directly from a manufacturer spec sheet in this pass, so treated as needing verification even though it is a small enough gap that a snug fit is plausible.
Help confirm this fit
This guitar already has factory locking tuners, so a straight swap should work, though the exact hole size has not been independently pinned down for this model.
Why we say this
This guitar ships with factory locking tuners already. One general source cites current Fender locking tuner bores at roughly 10.5mm, though that figure is not confirmed specifically for this model.
Help confirm this fit
This guitar already has factory locking tuners, but they are a different design than this part assumes. Confirm your peghole size before ordering.
Why we say this
This guitar ships with a different factory locking tuner design (short-post) than the 2-pin staggered locking tuners this part is built around. Bore compatibility has not been independently confirmed for this specific tuner design.

Drilling
These need the tuner holes reamed larger to fit, this guitar's vintage-spec headstock does not take modern tuners as a straight swap.
Why we say this
These are modern 10mm-post locking tuners, but this guitar's vintage-spec headstock uses the smaller vintage-style hole size. Fitting these means reaming the holes out, consistent with how this same conflict plays out on every true vintage-spec Fender.
Help confirm this fit
Drilling
Sized for a modern locking-tuner headstock, not the vintage-spec holes on this guitar. Expect reaming and new mounting holes.
Why we say this
These use the modern 10mm 2-pin locking mount found on current Player and American series necks, a different, larger bore than this guitar's genuine vintage-spec headstock.
