Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard - Faded Lake Placid Blue with Deluxe Gig Bag

The American Professional Classic Stratocaster: Vintage Soul, Modern Edge

Modern Playability Meets Vintage Character

The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Lake Placid Blue delivers a true fusion of timeless design and contemporary performance. With its gloss urethane-finished alder body and iconic Strat contours, this guitar blends visual allure with ergonomic comfort. The satin-finished maple neck features a Modern "C" profile that feels natural and responsive in hand, encouraging extended play sessions and expressive phrasing across all 22 medium jumbo frets.

Coastline '57 Pickups for Authentic Strat Tone

At the heart of this instrument are the vintage-inspired Coastline '57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups, voiced to recapture the punch, sparkle and warmth of a golden-era Fender. The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup ensures hum-canceling clarity in positions 2 and 4, while the Greasebucket tone circuit helps you roll off highs without adding unwanted mud. The result is tonal versatility that covers blues, funk, rock, and beyond with articulate expression.

Precision Components for Demanding Players

Fender’s staggered ClassicGear tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning with a vintage look. Combined with the 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, players can expect tuning stability and nuanced vibrato control. A synthetic bone nut and 9.5-inch fingerboard radius offer a balanced feel suited for both chord work and soaring lead lines.

A Finish That Speaks for Itself

The Faded Lake Placid Blue finish delivers understated elegance with a retro twist, accented by a 3-ply mint/black/mint pickguard and vintage white plastic control knobs. Fender’s meticulous finishing work ensures this guitar looks as stunning under stage lights as it sounds through an amp.
