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.

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.
