Description
The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Firemist Gold is a great fit for players who want that unmistakable Strat tone but with a bit more modern refinement. It nails the vibe of a golden-era Fender, with its aged white plastics and mint green pickguard, while offering the kind of feel and tuning stability that today's working musicians expect. If you're into classic single-coil sounds and a neck that plays fast without feeling too slim, this one checks both boxes.
It's loaded with Coastline '57 single-coils in all three positions, so you're getting that rounded top-end sparkle, solid midrange bite, and classic Strat quack in the in-between spots. The 5-way switch and Greasebucket tone circuit give you control over your highs without muddying things up. A 6-saddle vintage-style trem keeps everything responsive, and the alder body gives the whole thing a balanced, punchy tone that works in just about any mix.
The satin-finished Modern "C" neck and 9.5" radius maple fingerboard are super comfortable, whether you're stretching chords or ripping leads. It holds tune well thanks to the ClassicGear staggered tuners and plays clean and quick thanks to its medium jumbo frets. This is one of those Strats that feels reliable and familiar from the first note. We really like how this model bridges that gap between vintage feel and modern functionality.
