Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster Rosewood Fingerboard - Faded Black with Deluxe Gig Bag

The American Professional Classic Stratocaster: Vintage Vibe Meets Modern Precision

Refined for Today’s Player

The American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Black bridges the best of Fender’s golden-era tone with modern reliability and performance. This US-made Stratocaster delivers all the soulful sparkle and punch you expect, powered by a trio of Coastline '57 single-coil pickups. From classic surf cleans to bluesy grit and expressive leads, the tonal range is expansive yet familiar — this is a Strat that plays like a vintage favorite but responds like a modern machine.

Built for Versatility and Comfort

Its alder body provides a resonant and balanced tonal foundation, while the satin-finished maple neck features a Modern "C" profile that’s fast, natural, and immediately comfortable. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 9.5-inch radius, bending and chording feel effortless across the 22 medium jumbo frets. Whether you're recording layers in the studio or pushing pedals on stage, this Strat stays agile and expressive under your hands.

Signature Style and Hardware Upgrades

Fender’s Staggered ClassicGear tuning machines lend a vintage look with modern tuning precision, while the 6-saddle synchronized tremolo adds expressive capability without compromising stability. The aged white plastics, 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, and gloss urethane finish complete the guitar’s aesthetic with tasteful throwback appeal. A dual-tone setup, including Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit, lets you roll off highs without muddying your lows — ideal for sculpting articulate leads or smooth rhythms.

Professional-Grade and Stage-Ready

Every inch of this guitar is crafted for working musicians. The 5-way switching gives you access to all the Strat staples, and the included deluxe gig bag ensures safe transport to your next session, rehearsal, or tour stop. Whether you're chasing vintage feel, studio-ready tone, or modern reliability, this Stratocaster delivers without compromise.
