A tribute to the golden era of music, the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Olympic White is a meticulously crafted masterpiece that embodies the authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. This instrument is a part of the American Vintage II series, which is renowned for its accurate representation of the revolutionary designs that transformed the music industry.The late '50s and early '60s witnessed a surge in the popularity of Fender musical instruments, with the Stratocaster reigning supreme. By 1961, the Stratocaster had evolved into a more refined aesthetic, boasting a vibrant 3-Color Sunburst with a bolder black edge, accentuated by a 3-ply pickguard that highlighted the Strat's signature curves.Constructed with a premium alder body, this guitar delivers a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end. The medium "C"-Shaped maple neck is paired with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, providing the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument. The vintage-tall frets enhance the playing experience, making it easier to bend notes without fretting out.The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster is equipped with a trio of Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups, specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of the original model year. These pickups are constructed with materials such as cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins, and alnico magnets, reminiscent of Fender's golden years.The vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, and 3-ply pickguard are other notable features. The hardware is manufactured to look, sound, and function just like the originals, with many components still produced on the original '50s and '60s era Fender factory machines.The guitar is finished with a Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, a premium finish used on '50s and '60's Fender instruments, which reveals the instrument's true tonal character. The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality, down to the last screw. It's designed for players with a deep appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel, offering Fender electrics in their purest form. This is the Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
