Description
The Fender American Professional Stratocaster Maple in 3-Color Sunburst marks a fresh chapter in Fender's modern professional lineup. You've seen the original American Professional, the American Professional II, and the American Professional Classic. This refreshed American Professional Series brings ta number of meaningful under-the-hood updates, including tighter-tolerance electronics with treble bleed to retain clarity as the volume is rolled back. Its upgraded 2-point tremolo uses a cold-rolled steel block for added sustain and definition, while redesigned saddles keep adjustment screws from protruding into the picking hand. With a maple fingerboard, V-Mod III pickups, and classic 3-Color Sunburst styling, this version is built for players who want familiar Strat character with practical refinements for gigging, recording, rehearsals, and everyday use.
The Deep "C" maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth, comfortable feel. A sculpted neck heel improves upper-fret access, while 22 narrow tall frets provide an easy balance between chord work, bends, and lead playing. Three V-Mod III Strat single-coils retain the clarity, chime, and warmth players expect from a Strat, while ClassicGear Precision potentiometers are designed for smooth, consistent control.
The upgraded two-point synchronized tremolo combines a cold-rolled steel block with ClassicGear Radial bent-steel saddles for responsive pitch control and straightforward action and intonation adjustment. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment round out a dependable setup for working players. We think this version is a strong choice for anyone who wants classic Strat looks with the feel and hardware of a current professional instrument.
