Fender American Pro Classic Silent Stratocaster Maple Candy Apple Red w/bag

The American Professional Classic Stratocaster brings Fender’s Silent System to the traditional three-single-coil Stratocaster format. The passive, battery-free system is designed to effectively eliminate single-coil hum without sacrificing the character of the pickups, providing a practical update while keeping the familiar Strat electronics intact.

Three Coastline ’57 Stratocaster single-coils provide the pickup configuration, with vintage-inspired voicing based around classic late-’50s Strat sounds. A five-way blade handles pickup selection, while the control layout consists of a master volume, shared neck/middle tone control and a dedicated Greasebucket tone circuit for the bridge pickup.

The alder body is paired with a one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard. Fender’s Modern “C” profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets give the neck a contemporary playing setup, while the satin urethane finish provides a smooth feel. The traditional 25.5" scale is paired with a 1.685" synthetic bone nut.

Candy Apple Red gloss urethane is matched with a three-ply black pickguard, vintage white pickup covers and control knobs, and nickel/chrome hardware. A six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo and staggered Fender ClassicGear tuners complete the hardware, and a gig bag is included.
