Fender American Professional Classic
Crafted in the time-tested Fender tradition in Corona, California, the American Professional Classic Series merges the best of modern playability and vintage vibe. This lineup offers performance-focused spins on Fender’s most iconic guitars and basses, emphasizing rock-solid playability and classic sound above all. Fused with a dose of old-school style via their hot-rodded, vintage-inspired Coastline pickups and historic Fender finishes, the American Professional Classic Series offers dyed-in-the-wool Fullerton fanatics and first-time Fender players alike an accessible entryway into the long-standing lineage of premium, American-made Fender instruments.
Vintage-tinged Coastline Pickups
Coastline pickups supply you with a sweet, hot, and versatile twist on timeless Fender tones. These pickups start with the same components you’d find in Fender’s top-of-the-line vintage reissues — vintage-spec bobbins, cloth-covered wire, Alnico magnets, and so on — before raising their output level to more modern specifications. Moreover, Coastline pickups are paired with Fender’s Greasebucket circuit to keep your sound clear and defined when you’re rolling down the tone knob. It all adds up to a genre-defying set of single-coils that’s fresh and forward-thinking without compromising on classic Fender character.
Effortless Modern Playability
Whether you’re a bend-heavy blues player or a speed-obsessed shredder, the American Professional Classic Series is ready to sharpen up your playing with its unabashedly modern performance. Your fretting hand will enjoy a lightning-fast feel thanks to Fender’s beloved Modern C neck profile — a fan-favorite Fender shape for decades, praised for its “just right” feel. Moreover, American Professional Classic instruments brandish 9.5-inch radii and medium-jumbo frets to ensure a sleek, bend-friendly feel across the breadth of the fingerboard.
Eye-catching Finishes from Fender’s Vintage Heyday
American Professional Classic instruments proudly boast a plethora of vintage-inspired finishes to bolster their old-school vibe. From the gleam of Shoreline Gold to the sparkle of Sherwood Green to the timeless style of Fender’s 3-color Sunburst, these finishes mirror the most iconic coats used by Fender all the way back in the 1950s and 1960s. Sling up your Fender American Professional Classic, and all eyes will be on you.
