2022 Fender AMERICAN VINTAGE 1957 STRATOCASTER® painted by artist Elizabet Elequin

This new 2022 Fender Vintage 1957 Stratocaster was painted by fine artist Elizabeth Elequin for the Dallas International Guitar Festival 2023. Liz is a successful top artists based in San Antonio, Texas

Due to a family situation I had to close our booth after the first day and it was not sold.

Liz has painted some incredible guitars over the years and this is one of her best. I posted a couple of photos of other guitars she has painted. This an opportunity to get one of the most beautiful and solid playing Fender guitars on Reverb.

It was a new model for Fender released in 2022 and according to Fender:

The American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster pickups, a supremely comfortable “V”-shape neck with a 7.25” radius maple fingerboard, a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, and single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners. the body is Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish and the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster celebrates a true icon of Fender instrument design.

We replaced the white single ply pickguard with a clear pick because we did not want to cover an inch of Liz's beautiful artwork. It came with a black molded hard case but I believed a special guitar needed a special case so, it comes with new model deluxe Fender Wrangler case.
