Fender American Vintage II '61 Stratocaster - Fiesta Red

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.

During the late '50s and early '60s, the popularity
of Fender musical instruments flourished, and
although the Fender assortment had expanded to
include many great new instruments, the
Stratocaster® reigned supreme. By 1961, the
Stratocaster had taken on a more refined
aesthetic, with a 3-Color Sunburst reformulated
with a more vibrant red and bolder black edge,
topped with a 3-ply pickguard accenting the Strat's
signature curves.

Featuring a premium alder body, a trio of Pure
Vintage '61 Stratocaster pickups and a medium
"C"-Shaped maple neck mated 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 3-ply
pickguard.

The instruments in the American Vintage II series
are direct descendants of the original Fenders:
designed for players with a fine appreciation for
vintage Fender tone and feel and built with
unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These
are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender
American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
