HSS Pickup Versatility

The HSS configuration is what makes this Stratocaster special. The Coastline humbucker in the bridge position delivers thick, powerful tone with reduced noise - perfect for rock, metal, and high-gain applications. The Coastline '57 single-coils in the middle and neck positions provide classic Stratocaster sparkle and chime. Together, they create a guitar that can handle any musical style from vintage blues to modern rock.

Faded Sherwood Green Metallic Finish

The custom-faded Faded Sherwood Green Metallic finish is absolutely stunning - a unique metallic green that captures the aesthetic of a well-loved vintage Stratocaster. This distinctive finish combines the shimmer of metallic paint with the aged character of a faded finish, creating a guitar that looks incredible on stage and stands out from traditional Strat colors.

Modern Playability

The Modern C-shaped neck provides exceptional comfort and playability with a sleek profile that feels great in your hand. Combined with the 9.5"-radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this guitar plays effortlessly whether you're strumming chords or bending strings. It's the perfect balance of vintage feel and modern performance.

Greasebucket Tone System

The Greasebucket tone circuit is a unique Fender innovation that sets the American Professional Classic apart. Unlike traditional tone controls that lose gain and clarity as you roll them off, the Greasebucket circuit removes highs while preserving your sound's dynamics and presence. It's a subtle but powerful feature that expands your tonal palette.

Perfect For:

Whether you're a professional player demanding vintage tone with modern versatility, a rock guitarist seeking humbucker power plus Stratocaster sparkle, a recording artist wanting multiple voices in one guitar, or a Stratocaster enthusiast who appreciates HSS configurations in unique finishes, this Faded Sherwood Green Metallic beauty delivers. Its combination of vintage soul and modern performance makes it the ultimate versatile American Professional Classic Stratocaster.
