What sets the Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster Electric Guitar apart is its meticulous recreation of the iconic design that revolutionized the music industry. This 2-Color Sunburst masterpiece is a testament to Fender's commitment to authenticity and superior craftsmanship. This electric guitar boasts period-accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, all complemented by premium finishes. The year-specific pickups are meticulously voiced, capturing the quintessential Fender tone that has captivated musicians for decades. The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster is a tribute to the groundbreaking 1954 Stratocaster, known for its alluring curves, sparkling sounds, and innovative tremolo bridge. By 1957, the Stratocaster had evolved into a mid-century marvel, and this model embodies that evolution. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster pickups, this guitar offers a rich, full-bodied sound. The sweeping body contours and the supremely comfortable "V"-shape neck with a 7.25" radius maple fingerboard ensure a smooth, enjoyable playing experience. The vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, and a single-ply pickguard add to the guitar's authentic appeal. The stunning nitrocellulose lacquer finishes - 2-Color Sunburst and Sea Foam Green over alder - further enhance its visual appeal. The American Vintage II series is a tribute to the original Fenders, designed for players who appreciate the vintage Fender tone and feel. Every detail, down to the last screw, is crafted with unmatched quality. The Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish, a premium finish used on '50s and '60's Fender instruments, reveals the guitar's true tonal character. The alder body provides a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end. The 7.25"-radius fingerboard offers the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out. The 1957 "V"-Shape Neck and Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster Pickups are specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years. From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of American Vintage II hardware is manufactured to look, sound, and function just like it did on the originals. This is Fender in its purest form: the American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
