Fender American Professional Classic Stratocaster® HSS Faded Sherwood Green Metallic
Experience the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance with the American Professional Classic Stratocaster HSS in Faded Sherwood Green Metallic. Available at Vera Guitars in Charlotte, NC, this American-made guitar delivers golden-era Fender tone with added versatility from its HSS pickup configuration - evolved for today's player who demands both soul and precision.
American Professional Classic Series
The American Professional Classic series represents Fender's commitment to honoring vintage aesthetics while delivering modern performance. These guitars capture the soul of golden-era Fender instruments with period-inspired finishes and vintage-voiced pickups, combined with modern playability features that make them perfect for professional use from studio to stage.
HSS Configuration
The HSS (Humbucker-Single-Single) configuration combines the best of both worlds - a powerful humbucker in the bridge position for thick, aggressive tones, paired with two single-coils in the middle and neck positions for classic Stratocaster sparkle. This versatile setup delivers everything from vintage Strat chime to modern rock power.
Premium Features:
Alder Body: Classic Stratocaster tonewood with balanced resonance and sustain
Faded Sherwood Green Metallic Finish: Custom-faded vintage finish with authentic aged aesthetic
Coastline Humbucker Bridge Pickup: Powerful tone with enhanced output for rock and modern styles
Coastline '57 Stratocaster Middle and Neck Pickups: Vintage-inspired single-coils delivering depth, punch and sparkle
Modern C-Shaped Neck: Sleek profile with 9.5"-radius fingerboard for exceptional comfort and playability
Medium Jumbo Frets: Modern wire for effortless bending and precise intonation
Vintage-Style Hardware: Period-correct appointments for authentic aesthetics
Staggered ClassicGear Tuners: Classic looks with precise tuning stability
Greasebucket Tone System: Roll off highs without losing gain or clarity
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.
