Fender - American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS MN 3-Color Sunburst + Housse

The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS in 3-Color Sunburst finish has a familiar feel that's instantly recognisable, but as soon as you start playing it, you feel that it opens up other possibilities than the typical Strat.

The 2 Coastline '57 singles give that clear, direct grain, with just the right amount of brilliance and dynamic response. The bridge humbucker adds a denser texture: more saturation when the amp is pushed, more sustain, a tighter edge on riffs or leads. This contrast between the pickups allows you to move naturally from a delicate sound to something more assertive.

The alder body provides a balanced response, and the maple Modern C neck feels good under the fingers, without being too thick or too thin. The 9.5" fingerboard allows you to play comfortably, even when attacking bends or fast phrases. The medium jumbo frets give you greater precision without losing that 'Strat' feel.

The vintage vibrato does its job with fluid movement, and the ClassicGear staggered action stabilises the tuning. The Greasebucket circuit remains practical: it softens the treble without making the sound muffled, so the mix remains easy to read.

This Strat HSS can be used as a lead guitar: it holds its own in clean, crunch or saturated tone, and still retains that recognisable Fender character. Supplied with a gig bag, it's ready for the studio, the stage or just playing at home.
