Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster® – Faded Lake Placid Blue
A masterful fusion of vintage Fender character and contemporary performance — the American Professional Classic Stratocaster® in Faded Lake Placid Blue is built for discerning players who want classic tone with modern reliability.

Vintage Voice with Modern Refinements
Pickups: Coastline™ ’57 Stratocaster® Single-Coils (Neck, Middle & Bridge)
The trio of Coastline ’57 pickups delivers shimmering clarity, punchy mids, and that touch of vintage sparkle — ideal for clean, break-up or driven tones alike.

The Greasebucket tone circuit enables rolling off the high end without introducing unwanted bass, preserving clarity and articulation at all tone settings. 

Neck, Feel & Playability
Neck Profile: Modern “C”
Designed for comfortable playability across the fretboard, the Modern “C” shape balances accessibility and control. 

Fingerboard: 9.5" Radius with Medium Jumbo Frets
This configuration supports smooth bending and consistent fret contact — a blend of vintage and modern ergonomics. 

Truss Rod: Dual-Adjust / Standard
Allows adjustment at both ends for precise neck relief and setup flexibility. 

Hardware & Construction
Body: Alder
A classic Fender tonewood, Alder offers a balanced tonal response — clear highs, focused mids, and a solid low end.

Bridge: 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo
Provides dependable vibrato action with good intonation and vintage feel.

Tuners: Fender ClassicGear™ (Staggered)
Classic styling paired with reliable tuning performance.

Finish: Faded Lake Placid Blue
