Product Description
The Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Daphne Blue captures everything players love about a golden-era Strat, refined for modern performance. An alder body, roasted maple neck and a trio of Custom Shop Fat 60s single-coils deliver the depth, chime and punch that made the Stratocaster legendary, with the feel and reliability demanded by todays working guitarist.
With its sleek Modern C roasted maple neck, 9.5 inch radius fretboard and medium jumbo frets, this Strat feels instantly familiar yet effortlessly playable, whether you are laying down chords in the studio or bending notes on stage. Vintage-style hardware, Staggered ClassicGear tuners and the Greasebucket tone system complete a package that blends classic looks with contemporary control.
Vintage Tone, Modern Refinement
At the heart of this model are Fender Custom Shop Fat 60s Stratocaster pickups, voiced for full, rounded lows, scooped mids and sparkling highs. They capture the character of a great 60s Strat, with extra girth and presence to sit perfectly in a modern mix. From glassy neck tones to biting bridge leads and all the classic in-between positions, this Strat covers everything from blues and soul to indie and pop with ease.
Roasted Maple Feel and Stability
The roasted maple neck and fretboard do more than just look the part. The roasting process removes excess moisture from the wood, enhancing stability and resonance while giving a smooth, broken-in feel. Combined with the Modern C profile, 9.5 inch radius and medium jumbo frets, you get a neck that is fast, comfortable and ready for expressive bends and vibrato without fretting out.
Classic Strat Hardware
A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo and nickel/chrome hardware keep the look authentically Fender while delivering reliable performance. The six-screw tremolo bridge offers that familiar Strat shimmer and subtle pitch modulation, while the aged white plastics and 3-ply mint green pickguard give the guitar a timeless, stage-ready aesthetic that will never go out of style.
Greasebucket Tone Control
Fenders Greasebucket tone system on the bridge pickup lets you roll off highs without adding unwanted muddiness, keeping your sound tight and articulate even at lower tone settings. Paired with a traditional master volume and dedicated tone for the neck and middle pickups, you have precise control over your sound, whether you want bright, cutting leads or warmer, rounded rhythm tones.
Features
- Custom Shop Fat 60s Stratocaster Pickups - A trio of Fat 60s single-coils delivers classic 60s Strat sparkle with added warmth and punch. The result is a versatile set of tones that cut through the mix while retaining the sweetness and clarity that define the Strat sound.
- Roasted Maple Neck and Fingerboard - The roasted maple construction offers enhanced stability, resonance and a smooth, fast feel. It gives the guitar a lively response and a comfortable playing experience that holds up night after night.
- Modern C Neck with 9.5 Inch Radius and Medium Jumbo Frets - This contemporary neck spec strikes the perfect balance between vintage vibe and modern playability, making chords easy to fret and bends effortless across the entire fingerboard.
- Greasebucket Tone System - The Greasebucket circuit on the bridge pickup lets you tame the top end without turning your sound dull, keeping your overdriven tones tight and defined while still offering plenty of tonal flexibility.
