The Complete Setup for a Guitar This Good

When you're buying an American Professional Classic Stratocaster, you already know what you're getting into. This is not a guitar you stumble into — it's a guitar you decide on. The alder body, the rosewood fingerboard, the American Professional appointments, the Faded Dakota Red finish that looks like it's been on a stage for twenty years already. You've done your homework. This bundle is just us making sure you have everything you need to play it the moment it arrives.

We paired it with D'Addario NYXL1046 strings because that's what this guitar deserves. NYXLs are wound with a high-carbon steel core that holds tune better under aggressive playing and stays brighter longer than standard nickel wound strings. If you've never played them on an American Strat, you're going to notice the difference immediately. The Ernie Ball Classic Jacquard Red Rose strap is the right strap for this guitar — the red on red pairing is intentional and it looks exactly as good as you're imagining. The D'Addario Eclipse headstock tuner gets you in tune fast and stays out of the way. The Fender 351 Checker Heavy picks in a 12-pack give you the grip and attack that works well with single coil pickups at any volume.

The guitar ships with a Fender Deluxe Gig Bag. If you want hardshell protection for the road, the Fender Classic Series hardshell case (P/N 0996106306) is available separately — just ask us.
