A used American Vintage II Series! The American Vintage II series is a highly accurate reproduction of the groundbreaking electric guitars and basses that changed the course of music history. Featuring a body shape, neck, and hardware configuration faithfully reflecting the original specifications, a premium finish, and meticulously crafted pickups voiced for each era, this instrument embodies the essence of true Fender craftsmanship and tone. When the Stratocaster debuted in 1954, with its uniquely alluring curves, sparkling sound, and groundbreaking tremolo bridge, the world was astonished by its unprecedented novelty. After numerous updates, by 1957 it had evolved into one of the most iconic guitars of the century. The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster features three Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster pickups, a smooth body contour, and a V-shaped neck with a 7.25-inch radius maple fingerboard, faithfully recreating the tone and feel of the original 1957 model. It also boasts premium features such as a Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, Fender Deluxe tuning machines, and a 1-ply pickguard. Developed to celebrate Fender's iconic guitar shape, the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster features an alder body and is available in two nitrocellulose lacquer finishes: 2-Color Sunburst and Sea Foam Green. American Vintage II is a series for players who love the tone and feel of vintage Fender, faithfully reproducing the guitars and basses that laid the foundation for Fender. It revives guitars and basses that have shaped musical history using modern technology. This unit, with its slightly faded seafoam green finish due to sun exposure, has a sophisticated and mature look.
