The Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster left-handed electric guitar recreates the mid-century classic, with all its alluring curves, sparkling sounds and groundbreaking tremolo bridge. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage ’57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups, sweeping body contours and a supremely comfortable V-shaped neck with a 7.25" radius maple fingerboard, 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 with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners and a single-ply pickguard. Comes with a vintage-style tweed case with a crushed red interior.

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.
