Fender American Professional Stratocaster HSS ShawBucker – Antique Olive (Mint) - 8.3 lbs
The Overview: Often copied but never surpassed, the American Professional Stratocaster evolved the classic design for modern players. The versatile HSS pickup configuration makes this a total workhorse — capable of everything from crystalline, surfy cleans to searing, pushed humbucker leads. It’s the perfect gigging and studio companion, dressed in a gorgeous, understated Antique Olive finish.
Condition & Weight:
-
Condition: Mint. Impeccably cared for with virtually no signs of playwear.
-
Weight: 8.3 lbs. A beautifully balanced alder body that sits perfectly on a strap without dragging you down during long sessions.
Tone & Playability: This Strat is loaded with a Tim Shaw-designed ShawBucker 1 in the bridge and two V-Mod single-coils in the neck and middle. The V-Mods use a proprietary blend of alnico magnets voiced specifically for their positions, giving you that authentic, warm Fender DNA. When you need to cut through a dense mix, the ShawBucker provides serious muscle. Crucially, the onboard treble-bleed circuit ensures your high-end stays crisp and present even when you roll back the volume knob to clean up your amp.
The modern "Deep C" neck profile fills the hand beautifully, sitting somewhere between a standard Modern C and a U-shape. Paired with narrow-tall frets, it offers effortless chording down low and precise, perfectly intonated string bending up high.
