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. 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.
