The American Professional Classic Stratocaster in Faded Dakota Red with a rosewood fingerboard is the answer to a very specific question: what does a modern American Fender feel like when it is built the way the originals were?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fingerboard is the first thing you notice under your hands. It has a warmth and a slight give that maple does not, and it pulls the tone in a direction that players who grew up on vintage instruments will recognize immediately. The pickups respond the way a Strat should. Clean tones are clear and glassy without being brittle. Push the amp and the midrange opens up. Roll back the volume knob and the character stays intact. That is the test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFaded Dakota Red Is Not a Showroom Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is deep, slightly muted, and has a vintage quality that looks like it has already lived a life. In person it reads richer than any photo captures. Pair it with rosewood and the whole instrument has a broken in feel from the first time you pick it up. This is a guitar for players who want something that looks like it has been somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple, C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5 inch radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21 narrow tall frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: American Professional Classic single coil Stratocaster pickups (3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, 2 tone controls, 5 way pickup selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 2 point synchronized tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Faded Dakota Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 0114940375\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Fender Deluxe Gig Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn American Strat Worth the Investment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a guitar you buy and wonder if you made the right call.
