Description
The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Black offers the vibe of a well-worn favorite with the precision and playability of a modern instrument. This model is all about getting that golden-era Strat sound without giving up the comfort and reliability today's players need. Whether you're gigging, recording, or just looking to level up your main guitar, this Strat keeps it classic where it counts and updated where it matters.
Loaded with a trio of Coastline '57 Stratocaster single-coils-including a reverse-wound middle for hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4-you get crisp, articulate tones with the kind of sparkle and depth that made Strats famous in the first place. The Modern "C" neck with a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard feels fast and easy without being too slim, and the medium jumbo frets make bending and chord work feel just right. Fender's Greasebucket tone circuit helps roll off highs without losing low-end clarity, giving you more control across your tone stack.
Hardware is vintage-style across the board, including a 6-saddle synchronized trem and aged white plastics for a classic look. The staggered ClassicGear tuners hold tuning solid while adding to the aesthetic. It also ships with a Fender gigbag included, so you're ready to take it on the road or into the session without missing a beat.
