A breathtaking time-capsule 2017 Fender American Professional Stratocaster in its classic, iconic Candy Apple Red finish. This instrument is in absolute pristine condition, hovering right at "New Old Stock" status. The original factory protective plastic film is still fully intact on the pickguard and backplate, preserving a completely unblemished surface underneath.
To ensure it is completely stage-ready, this Strat has just received a comprehensive, professional shop setup. The dark rosewood fingerboard has been cleaned and conditioned, and a fresh set of Ernie Ball "Turbo Slinky" strings has been installed. It plays effortlessly with low, fast action and immaculate intonation across the entire fretboard.
Tone & Playability
Crafted in Corona, California, the first-generation American Professional series is highly regarded for introducing player-focused upgrades to Fender's timeless formula.
- Pickups: Loaded with a trio of Tim Shaw-designed V-Mod single-coil pickups. These utilize a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types tailored specifically to each position, delivering classic Fender chime, enhanced warmth, and modern articulation.
- Treble-Bleed Circuit: Equipped with a factory treble-bleed circuit that ensures your high-end clarity remains perfectly crisp even when rolling back the volume knob.
- Neck Profile: Features the modern "Deep C" neck profile, which adds a comfortable touch of substance under your hand, seamlessly paired with 22 narrow-tall frets for effortless string bending and pristine chording.
Condition & Functionality
- Cosmetics: Immaculate condition. No dings, chips, scratches, or buckle rash. Hardware is bright, clean, and free of oxidation.
- Neck & Frets: The neck is arrow-straight, the truss rod adjusts perfectly, and the 22 narrow-tall frets show 100% of their factory life remaining with no wear.
- Electronics: 100% factory original, untouched, and fully operational. Pots, jack, and the 5-way pickup selector blade run completely silent.
