Fender | American Professional Classic Series
Vintage Charm and Modern Performance meet in Fender’s newest Series!
A perfect solution for gigging professionals, the new Fender American Professional Classic series delivers the soul of a golden-era Fender guitar or bass, with the upgrades that today’s players crave! This new group of professional-grade instruments pairs new Coastline vintage-voiced pickups with the Fender Greasebucket circuit, which acts as a band-pass filter to prevent your tone from becoming muddy when rolling off the tone control.
This results in a series of Fender instruments that perfectly strike a balance between something totally new and revisiting an old standard. Finish it off with a selection of custom-color and signature Fender finishes, sleek Modern “C” profile necks, and vintage-style hardware, and each instrument from the Fender American Professional Classic series is ready to make a statement on stage or in the studio!
8 Models, One Unified Vision
With 8 guitars & basses that unify past and present, every Fender fan will find something to love in the American Professional Classic lineup:
- Coastline ‘57 Stratocaster Pickups
- Modern "C"-shaped neck with 9.5"-radius fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets
- Vintage-style hardware and Staggered ClassicGear Tuners
To be among the first to integrate the Fender American Professional Classic series of guitars & basses into your tonal arsenal, call us today at (773) 525-7773, chat with us, or simply come into our Lincoln Avenue Showroom!
