Product Description
Building on the success of Fender's American Vintage range, the American Vintage II series takes things up a notch, offering incredibly accurate recreations of Fender's most timeless designs. With period accurate bodies, necks and hardware and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, the American Vintage II series pays tribute to the revolutionary designs that altered the course of popular music forever.
The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster perfectly captures the tone and feel of an original '60s Strat. With its refined aesthetics, slab Rosewood fingerboard, crystalline sound and comfortable medium "C" shape Maple neck, you would be forgiven for thinking you were playing a genuine vintage guitar. Featuring an Alder body with a Nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the 1961 Stratocaster is the stuff of legends, designed for players with a keen appreciation of vintage instruments!
At the heart of the '61 Strat is a trio of Pure Vintage '61 Stratocaster pickups for a host of sparkling single-coil tones that will take you back to the golden age of guitar building. Other premium appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and a three-ply pickguard.
