The Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster is equipped with Pure Vintage '57 single-coil pickups, meticulously designed to recreate the unmistakable tones of the original model. These pickups deliver bright, articulate highs and warm, rounded lows, capturing the classic Stratocaster sound that shaped countless iconic recordings. The carefully voiced pickups offer the perfect balance of clarity and punch, ensuring every note rings out with vintage authenticity.
The 1957 "V"-shaped neck profile offers exceptional comfort, providing a smooth and natural feel in your hand. Crafted from a single piece of maple, the neck is designed to fit comfortably for both chord playing and intricate lead work. Combined with the 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets, this neck shape allows effortless movement across the fretboard, offering a truly authentic vintage playing experience.
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster not only enhances its classic aesthetic but also improves its tonal resonance. This premium finish allows the alder body to breathe and age naturally over time, developing a unique character and sound. Unlike modern polyurethane finishes, nitrocellulose lacquer wears beautifully, adding to the guitar’s vintage appeal and personal connection with every performance.
Every detail of the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster has been carefully designed to match the original, from the Pure Vintage synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles to the single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners. The cold-rolled steel tremolo block enhances sustain and tonal richness, while the aged white control knobs and single-ply parchment pickguard complete its period-correct look. This commitment to vintage-accurate hardware ensures an authentic playing experience that honours Fender's rich heritage.
