The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS MN in Faded Lake Placid Blue blends vintage character with modern performance. An alder body and gloss urethane finish deliver the classic Strat feel and response, while a Coastline humbucker at the bridge teams with Coastline '57 single-coils for everything from glassy cleans to tight, driven leads. The Modern "C" maple neck with a 9.5" radius maple fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps bends smooth and rhythm work tidy, with a satin finish that stays fast on stage
A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo provides expressive vibrato with a confident return to pitch, and ClassicGear staggered tuners keep things stable without weighing down the headstock. The Greasebucket tone system lets you shave off highs without adding mud, so your parts keep their edge in the mix. It's a proper Strat that looks the part, feels immediately familiar, and covers serious ground from studio takes to late-night gigs

This Strat pairs Coastline '57 single-coils with a Coastline bridge humbucker, so you can move from glassy cleans and scooped, quacky rhythms to tight, muscular leads without switching guitars. Positions 2 and 4 give you the classic noise-reduced chime thanks to the reverse-wound, revers-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup, while the bridge humbucker adds focus and sustain for solos that sing. It's a flexible, session-ready voice that covers indie sparkle, blues bite, and modern rock punch with ease
The Modern "C" maple neck lands in that sweet spot between sleek and supportive, keeping long rehearsals comfortable and fast. A 9.5" maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets makes wide bends smooth and chords tidy all the way up the board, while the satin urethane finish stays quick under hot stage lights. The synthetic bone nut and tidy fretwork help intonation hold steady, rewarding a light touch and expressive vibrato
A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo gives you musical wobble and shimmer with a confident return to pitch. ClassicGear staggered tuners increase string break angle for improved stability and fewer trees up top, and the nickel/chrome hardware is built to take the miles. Whether you lean on subtle vibrato or go for wider swells, the response stays controlled and predictable, keeping your focus on the part rather than the setup
The Greasebucket tone system rolls off highs without adding mud, so rhythm parts remain defined and lead tones keep their edge as you tame brightness. An alder body and gloss urethane finish keep things lively and resonant, while the HSS wiring and five-way switching deliver quick access to studio-friendly tones. It's a roadworthy, pro-spec Strat that looks the part, feels immediately familiar, and slots into any set or session with minimal fuss
