Sweetwater exclusive purchased in 2020 with some customization made since. The original listing description is below but the following are the modifications I made:

- Tortoise pickguard (original included)

- Fat 50s middle pickup for reverse wound noise canceling (original 69 included)

- Texas Special Bridge pickup (original 69 included)

- Kluson locking tuners (original Fender tuners included)

- vintage colored switches, knobs, etc (originals included)

Comes with the hardshell case and all original case accessories. I only ever played this in my home office/studio in a smokefree home. I love this guitar and it pains me to part with it so I'll be firm on price in hopes it will land in a good home.

Original Sweetwater listing :

This Fender American Professional Stratocaster blends drool-worthy style with vintage-inspired tone and modern features. It all starts with a balanced-sounding alder body. Then its '69 Custom Shop single-coil pickups take it further with the full gamut of classic Strat tones across five switch positions. This guitar's roasted maple neck doesn't just offer eye-popping good looks; it also fills your hand comfortably, thanks to a Modern Deep "C" profile. Beyond that, locking tuners and a 2-point tremolo supply rock-solid stability, along with expressive flutters and dives. This American Professional Strat combines the best classic design elements and the most popular modern features in one gig-ready instrument.

Gorgeous roasted maple neck

Leo Fender wasn't afraid to think outside the box when it came to guitar designs. In the 1950s and well into the 1970s, the blonde natural maple neck became almost synonymous with Fender guitars. Only available at Sweetwater, this American Professional Strat ups the ante by roasting the maple neck, along with adding a comfortable Modern Deep "C" shape, rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets, and a 9.5" radius.

'69 Custom Shop single-coil pickups

This American Professional Stratocaster is loaded with three '69 Custom Shop single-coil pickups that deliver all the legendary Strat spank, sparkle, chime, and chunk of the originals — only with less noise. If authentic late-'60s Strat sound is your thing — this American Professional Strat is a great way to get it.

Fender American 2-point tremolo

A Fender Strat wouldn't be a Fender Strat without the non-locking tremolo design that turned the world on its ear in the early 1950s. This American Professional Stratocaster boasts an updated take on that design that meets the needs of today's players. Its 2-point construction makes action adjustments a breeze while providing plenty of stability. And the pop-in arm mechanism is extremely convenient, holds the tremolo arm from having too much play, and allows you to adjust the tension on the arm.
