Description
Fender American Professional Stratocaster - Natural
The Fender Stratocaster stands as one of the most celebrated and ubiquitous instruments in musical history, defining generations of tone in the hands of trailblazers like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy. The American Professional Stratocaster honors that timeless legacy while setting a new benchmark for modern performance. Dressed in an alluring Natural finish, this model features an ash body that puts its organic, sweeping grain patterns on full display. Tonally, ash is revered for its sweet, resonant voice—offering ringing highs, a gently scooped midrange, and a tight, punchy low end that responds dynamically to every nuance of your pick attack. Mated with a sturdy maple neck and matching maple fingerboard, it delivers that signature Fender snap, bell-like clarity, and immediate acoustic presence.
Under the hood, three V-Mod III single-coil pickups deliver an inspiring balance of vintage character and modern articulation. Specially voiced for their distinct positions, these pickups dish out authentic Strat shimmer, glassy overtones, and warm, round lows that easily cut through a dense band mix. For players seeking even more sonic territory, Fender incorporated an auxiliary push-push switch into the second tone control, allowing you to blend the neck pickup into positions one and two for tone combinations unavailable on traditional five-way switches. Paired with ClassicGear precision potentiometers, your volume and tone adjustments remain musical and linear across their entire rotation.
Built to keep up with the demands of marathon rehearsals and weekend tours, the American Professional Stratocaster is loaded with player-centric ergonomic refinements. The maple neck is shaped to Fender’s popular Deep "C" profile, complemented by smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a sculpted neck heel for unhindered access to the upper frets, and a "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish that stays slick and fast in any playing environment. At the bridge, a modern two-point synchronized tremolo features a cold-rolled steel block and ClassicGear radial bent-steel saddles, ensuring expansive sustain, buttery vibrato action, and recessed adjustment screws that stay completely clear of your picking hand.
