The American Professional Classic Stratocaster brings Fender’s new Silent System to a traditional three-single-coil Strat layout. This passive, battery-free system is designed to effectively eliminate single-coil hum without sacrificing the character of the pickups, making it a meaningful update to an otherwise vintage-influenced instrument.

Three Coastline ’57 Stratocaster single-coils provide the guitar’s core voice, drawing on classic late-’50s Strat pickup design. Standard five-way switching is paired with a master volume, neck/middle tone control and a dedicated Greasebucket tone circuit for the bridge pickup.

The alder body is paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Fender’s Modern “C” neck profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provide a more contemporary playing setup, while the satin urethane neck finish keeps the feel smooth and familiar. Scale length is the traditional Fender 25.5", with a 1.685" synthetic bone nut.

The 3-Color Sunburst gloss urethane finish is complemented by a three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage white plastics and nickel/chrome hardware. A six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo and staggered Fender ClassicGear tuners complete the hardware, and a gig bag is included.
