Bought just earlier this year here at Trueone as a new guitar, this American Professional Classic Stratocaster is a great example of Fender's most affordable USA-made series. A long time regular that's one of our favorite customers got it and keeps all of his gear super clean. Now he's moved on to a different guitar and we have it back again.
What you get is a iconic Strat - an alder body in 3-Tone Sunburst, with a maple neck that has an easy to play Modern C profile. The 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets allow to bend without the fear of fretting out. The real star of the show are the Coastline '57 Stratocaster pickups - these are overwound versions of classic 50's pickups, so you get a bit more power and punch with an enhanced bass response. We love these pickups so much that we just commissioned a run of Custom Shop guitars with them.
Other features include a vintage bridge, staggered ClassicGear tuners and a Greasebucket Tone system so you can roll off high frequencies without boosting or muddying your low-end bass response. This is especially helpful with playing with a lot of overdive or distortion. The end result is a versatile, very usable guitar.
This Strat is in excellent condition and comes with a gig bag. The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly, and it's ready to go.
