Fender - American Professional Classic Stratocaster MN 3-Color Sunburst + Housse
The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster RW 3-Color Sunburst combines vintage elegance and contemporary finesse in a Strat designed for today's musicians. It combines the DNA of historic models with the precision of modern guitars. With its alder luthiery, Coastline '57 SSS pickups and Modern C neck in screwed maple, this Fender 3-Color Sunburst proudly assumes its dual personality. You'll find authentic finishes, a 6-point tremolo, ClassicGear tuners and a Greasebucket system that regulates the treble without muffling your signal. Designed in the USA, this Strat is just as much for live performers as it is for home riff enthusiasts. It's got an old-fashioned look, it's easy to get to grips with, and above all, it's a Strat that won't judge you when you launch into a solo in your slippers.
Presentation
Its alder body, cut for resonance, develops a rich spectrum, solid in the mids and stable in the lows. Combined with a rosewood fingerboard and synthetic bone saddle, it delivers clean attacks and limpid flights. A real playground for textured riffs and polished arpeggios. And if you like to play with contrasts, it's sure to make you revise your scales... the old-fashioned way, but without unnecessary nostalgia.
At the heart of the engine, the Coastline '57 microphones leave little to chance. Inspired by Fender's Pure Vintage pickups, they feature a slightly accentuated winding for body, bite and that special sparkle.
Their SSS configuration adapts to every situation: biting on the bridge, smooth on the neck, and RWRP in the centre (Reverse Wiring Reverse Polarity). The 5-position selector allows you to build dynamic palettes, without ever losing coherence of sound. And if you still think a Strat can't surprise you, you haven't plugged this one in.
In terms of ergonomics, Fender understands that your wrists aren't made of titanium.
The neck's Modern C profile offers a natural, pleasant and fast fit, with a 9.5" radius that embraces modern techniques. The Medium Jumbo frets ensure comfortable, precise playing, without straining the fingers or the vibrato. And speaking of vibrato, the Vintage-Style 6-screw tremolo does exactly what you'd expect of it: it reacts quickly, remains stable and prevents you from finishing your solos by ear.
And while we're on the subject of adjustment, the Greasebucket Tone System has the good taste not to sabotage your signal by lowering the treble. It adjusts the spectrum with finesse, without introducing muddy bass or crushing your midrange. A real plus for those who want to switch from clean to crunch without losing any coherence in their playing.
Add to that ClassicGear Staggered mechanics and full electronics, and you've got a Strat ready to live out its next decade on your shoulders.
