Hello and thanks for looking at my very cool original 1986 Fender American 57 vintage reissue Stratocaster with very cool Fender vintage Tweed case. The guitar looks and feels like a '50's Strat, the paint finish and play wear give this a patina that looks and feels like a '57 Strat Serial Number V022646. She weighs in at a svelte 6.95 lbs! There are a few scratches, scuffs, and dings, but there is no wear that effects playability, this baby feels like home when you pick it up - very nice patina. Playability is a 10, finish is a 8.8, and the neck is straight and true, soft D shape, and set up with a slight relief and low action the way I like it. Of course, all of the truss rod and bridge adjustments work as designed, so the next luck owner can set her up any way you like it! The frets have less than 20% wear, and plays great, seriously, this guitar is smooth and effortless to play! The electrics are all original, work as designed and sound creamy and smooth, AND she will scream if you ask nicely, the fender vintage reissue pickups are amazing! ... This baby stays in tune, tremolo works fine and stays in tune. She comes with the Fender vintage Tweed case and the Tremolo bar.

Based on the V022646 serial number, this Fender guitar is part of the American Vintage Series and was produced between 1982 and 1988. [1, 2]Here are the details for that series:
