Late 1980s Fender American Vintage Reissue ’57 Stratocaster — Original with Case Candy

A stunning example of Fender’s legendary AVRI series, this late-’80s ’57 Stratocaster reissue is a true time capsule from one of the finest eras of American Vintage production. Built at a time when Fender was laser-focused on faithfully recreating the magic of the original ’50s instruments, these guitars are increasingly sought after by players and collectors alike.

This example comes loaded with all its original case candy, including the bridge cover and 5-way pickup selector blade — rare finds that are typically the first things to go missing over the decades. The guitar is currently wired with a vintage-correct 3-way switch, keeping things simple and authentic, but the original 5-way is included for those who a more flexible configuration.

Whether you’re a collector chasing a complete AVRI set, a gigging player who wants a workhorse Strat with serious vintage DNA, or just someone who appreciates the craftsmanship of late-’80s Fullerton production, this guitar delivers.

Highlights:

* Late 1980s Fender American Vintage Reissue ’57 Stratocaster

* Full case candy included — bridge cover and original 5-way pickup selector

* Currently wired with vintage-style 3-way switch (original 5-way included)

* A rare, increasingly collectible piece of American Fender history

* Vintage ‘V’ shape neck profile — the defining feel of a true ’50s Strat recreation, beloved by players who prefer a chunkier, hand-filling grip

* Original AVRI single-coil pickups — period-correct AlNiCo V magnets deliver that quintessential ’50s Strat voice; glassy and chimey on the neck and middle, with a biting, spanky bridge pickup that cuts through the mix without ever getting harsh

A clean, well-documented AVRI with its candy intact — these don’t come up often. Available for test / pickup in Berlin, Germany or shipping in European Union.
