Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS Maple Faded Black w/Deluxe Gig Bag

1) Overview

The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS in Faded Black blends the unmistakable character of vintage Fender design with modern sonic power and precision. Built for players who need flexibility, tone, and playability, this model delivers all the soul of a golden-era Strat with the refinements demanded by contemporary musicians.

Its versatile electronics feature a Coastline humbucker in the bridge and Coastline 57 Stratocaster single-coils in the middle and neck positions, producing everything from glassy cleans to high-output drive. The Modern C maple neck and 9.5″ maple fingerboard ensure fast, comfortable playability, while the 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo and Fender ClassicGear staggered tuners deliver stable tuning and expressive vibrato response. Finished in Faded Black with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, this Stratocaster exudes classic Fender style with a modern edge.
