Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster Electric Guitar – Faded Lake Placid Blue

A delightful fusion of vintage charm and modern execution, the Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster offers a premium Strat playing experience with tone to match. Its solid alder body flaunts familiar Strat contours, imbuing it with the soul of a golden-era Fender, evolved for today’s players. The satin-finished maple neck, which sports a Modern C shape, gives this solidbody electric guitar an eminently satisfying, hand-filling feel. Meanwhile, the 9.5-inch-radius, 22-fret fingerboard provides you with a revved-up platform for lightning-fast playability. No matter what you plug the American Professional Classic Strat into, you’ll revel in the depth, punch, and sparkle of its overwound, vintage-inspired Coastline ’57 Stratocaster pickups, which are bolstered by Fender’s Greasebucket Tone Circuit. You also get Fender Staggered ClassicGear tuning machines and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, certifying rock-solid stability — even under demanding playing conditions. Finally, a custom-faded finish, a 3-ply pickguard, and aged plastic parts give this Strat a spotlight-stealing look that’s impossible to ignore. Are you searching for a pro-grade instrument with vintage aesthetics and modern performance? If so — take it from us — the American Professional Classic Stratocaster is calling your name.

Feel every note come to life

Playing the American Professional Classic Stratocaster feels like driving a vintage hot rod; it’s smooth, responsive, and quickly becomes an extension of your own creative expression. To start, the sculpted back and arm contour of its solid alder body offers extreme ergonomic comfort. Additionally, its satin-finished Modern C-shape neck ensures easy, hand-cradling playability, matched by the fleet-fingered feel of its 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard, which is crowned with 22 medium-jumbo frets. Simply put, the American Professional Classic Strat allows notes to flow effortlessly from your fingers, providing you with a level of nuance and expression few guitars can match.

Vintage Strat tone meets amp-punching power

Loaded with Alnico V magnets and Formvar-coated magnet wire, the Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster’s Coastline ’57 pickups deliver the bright, clear, articulate tone you’ve come to expect from a premium Strat. Staggered pole pieces give these single-coil pickups meticulously balanced output across each string, and period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbin construction ensure authentic vintage flavor, delivering bell-like chime and glassy highs by the truckload, and serving up in-between quack tones with maximum aplomb. Moreover, Coastline ’57s are slightly overwound to give the front end of your amp a satisfying kick in the teeth. Finally, the American Professional Classic Strat brandishes Fender’s Greasebucket Tone Circuit on the bridge pickup, enabling you to maintain clarity and definition when rolling down the Tone knob, without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass.

Built for subtle vibrato and bold stage presence

Armed with a vintage-style 6-point synchronized tremolo, the American Professional Classic Stratocaster puts an entire arsenal of timeless pitch play at the ready, from subtle vibrato and beyond. Staggered ClassicGear tuning machines meld old-school Fender aesthetics with modern precision. Additionally, a faded classic finish re-creates the well-loved patina of a vintage instrument, reinforced by a 3-ply pickguard and aged plastic parts, for a truly spotlight-stealing look that’s guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
