The Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster electric guitar recreates a mid-century classic with premium components and craftsmanship. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups, sweeping body contours and a supremely comfortable V-shaped neck, the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. It has an ash body with vintage-inspired gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, paired with a bolt-on maple neck and bone nut. Additional appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners and a single-ply pickguard.

Authentic Tonewoods and Pickups

The alder and maple construction provides a vintage build with added stability and comfort. The Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups flawlessly replicate the entire spectrum of classic Stratocaster sounds. Tune in to your perfect sound with a standard 5-position pickup switch, dual tone knobs and a single volume control.

Vintage Feel and Playability

The authentic 1957 V-shape neck profile provides maximum maneuverability and a solid grip on the 7.25" radius maple fingerboard. The vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles generates warm guitar waves with ease. The single-line Fender Deluxe tuners keep your intonation stable while providing a stellar visual display.

Premium Components and Finish

The premium gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish presents the renowned Stratocaster shine. Choose from classic colors like Vintage Blonde, sea foam green, 2-color sunburst and black. Nickel and chrome hardware are made to model the coveted guitar appointments of ages past. A vintage-style tweed case with a crushed red interior protects your investment when not in use.

A Legendary Classic Reborn

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. The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster electric guitar is a faithful recreation of a rock 'n' roll legend.
