This is the full and rather long but also uncut and unedited first-take jam, part of which was used in the full, chatty demo for this guitar. If you'd like to view the chatty rundown, please visit youtu.be/hBMTawdzHSc

Fender's 2025 American Professional Classic series is all about crossing traditional charm with modern appointments. The Stratocaster comes with '57 Coastline Pickups; 9.5" radius fingerboard (rosewood or maple); medium jumbo frets; Vintage synchronised bridge; staggered vintage machine heads and a "Greasebucket" tone control (pickups 1 & 2) that lets you roll of highs without increasing bass. It sounds like a vintage instrument and plays like a slicker, modern version of the traditional Strat. It's very hard to put down, sounds amazing and is super-stable. Handsome too!
