Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster, Rosewood Fingerboard, Fiesta Red

A true classic!  The Fender American Vintage II series offers an exceptionally accurate representation of the iconic designs that shaped musical history. Each instrument in this series is crafted with period-correct bodies, necks, and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously voiced, era-specific pickups, capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.  It stands as a tribute to the era when Fender's popularity soared. By 1961, the Stratocaster had evolved with a more refined aesthetic, including a vibrant 3-Color Sunburst finish and a bold, black edge, complemented by a classic 3-ply pickguard that accentuates the guitar's signature curves.

This model features a premium alder body, complemented by three Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups, delivering the quintessential tone of the era. The medium "C"-shaped maple neck, paired with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, ensures an authentic feel and sound. Additional features include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, and a 3-ply pickguard.
