“The pristine American Vintage series

Old but new. The American Vintage II series seeks to recreate classic Fender instruments with unerring detail, with faithful attention poured over every component – even down to the last screw!

Made in the Fender USA guitarworks, you’re guaranteed outstanding quality on every model. And with each detail accurately recreating the year the guitar is from, it’s almost as if you’re buying an instrument from the past!

We can reel off lists of components all day to convince you that the ’61 Strat is accurate, but nothing compares to the actual feel of a guitar. And once you’ve held the classic medium “C” shaped neck on this Strat, you’ll be totally convinced. It’s eminently comfortable and presents a stunning vintage vibe thanks to its gloss nitro lacquer.

That’s joined by a slab rosewood fretboard which serves up a chunky, retro feel. It’s curved in a 7.25″ radius for true retro playability, in addition to hosting 21 vintage tall sized frets for a precise action over the scales.

Highly accurate ’61 sounds

Step back into the sixties. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage ’61 Single Coil Strat pickups, the American Vintage II produces a stunningly accurate tone. Built using period materials and configured to ’60s standards, they’re not only bright, but also full of chime and articulation.

So, if you’re looking for the pluck and cluck of a classic Strat single coil, look no further, because Fender have done the hard work of recreating classic sonics for you!

Complete with premium Stratocaster appointments

Every component adds to the authenticity. The American Vintage II Stratocaster hosts a series of hardware that helps capture the essence of Fender tone and character. From its correct vintage style tuners that keep a tight grip on your strings, to its synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, every part boasts an unmatched quality.

In unison, the bridge, bone nut and vintage-style tuners deliver a pristine resonance, letting each note ring out clearly with sustain and clarity to give your playing peak definition. And what’s more, these premium appointments are set in to an original-style alder body for the nimble, lightweight, and comfortable Strat attack.
