Overview

Vintage Fender style and tone, with a trio of ’61 single-coil Strat pickups.

The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster electric guitar celebrates the popularity and aesthetic evolution of the Stratocaster in the early ’60s, including bold finishes and a 3-ply pickguard accenting its signature curves. Featuring a premium alder body, a trio of Pure Vintage ’61 Stratocaster pickups and a medium C-shaped maple neck paired with a 7.25"-radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Other appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and a bone nut. It comes with a vintage-style brown case with an orange interior.

The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
