Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster Rosewood Faded Dakota Red w/Deluxe Gig Bag

---

1) Overview

The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Dakota Red perfectly captures the soul of Fender’s golden-era designs while delivering the modern refinements today’s players demand. From its sleek lines and familiar feel to its dynamic tonal range, this Stratocaster is a true workhorse that blends vintage warmth with contemporary precision.

At the heart of this model are Coastline™ ‘57 Stratocaster® single-coil pickups, offering the unmistakable chime, clarity, and expressive response that have defined countless recordings. The alder body provides balanced resonance and sustain, while the Modern “C” maple neck and rosewood fingerboard deliver smooth playability and a rich, rounded tone. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo ensures expressive pitch control with classic Fender feel, and the Greasebucket™ tone circuit allows precise roll-off of highs without adding unwanted bass frequencies.

Finished in Faded Dakota Red with a 3-ply mint/black/mint pickguard, the American Professional Classic Stratocaster stands as a refined evolution of a timeless icon — all the soul of a vintage Strat, built for the modern stage and studio.
