Fender Vintera II Road Worn '60s Stratocaster Rosewood Fingerboard Electric Guitar Sonic Blue

Some guitars channel the past—this one makes you feel it down to the grain. The Fender Vintera II Road Worn '60s Stratocaster rosewood fingerboard electric guitar recreates the character of a true vintage classic, right down to the aged finish and authentic playing feel. Finished in Sonic Blue with a nitrocellulose lacquer, this Stratocaster shows subtle signs of wear, as if it's been gigged for decades. The C-shaped maple neck fits the hand naturally, while the 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 vintage-tall frets let fingers glide during bends and fast runs. Fender's trio of vintage-style '60s single-coil pickups captures the warmth and sparkle that made the original models famous. It's made for guitarists who want the feel of a broken-in favorite, with the stability to hold up gig after gig.

Fender Road Worn Finish With Authentic Aging

This finish doesn't pretend—it's earned. The aged nitrocellulose finish on this Stratocaster uses a process that lightly checks and fades the paint, mimicking decades of real use. Subtle wear marks on the body and hardware feel authentic, not artificial. This method keeps the finish thin so the body resonates better, creating a livelier response to your playing. The result is a guitar that looks and feels like a well-loved original, but built to last for years of regular playing.

Vintage-Style Pickups on the Vintera II Stratocaster

These pickups bring the sparkle that made the Strat legendary. Three single-coil pickups, wound to '60s specs, sit under the pickguard and bring out a bright, chiming tone. Each pickup responds to picking attack with clear highs and rounded lows. The five-way switch lets you blend pickups for everything from glassy rhythm to biting leads. Fender uses period-correct magnets and wire, so the tone stays true to the original '60s sound. Players get the kind of sparkle and clarity that made the Stratocaster famous worldwide.

Classic Stratocaster Tremolo System With Smooth Response

Here's where subtle movement turns into expression. The six-saddle synchronized tremolo uses bent steel saddles that let you create smooth vibrato effects and pitch dives. Tuning machines match the original vintage look while holding pitch steady. The nut and bridge work together to keep string movement slick during bends, so tuning holds even with heavy tremolo use. Controls include a master volume and two tone knobs, plus a five-way selector for easy real-time changes during a set.

Alder Body and Rosewood Fingerboard for Balanced Feel

This build feels familiar from the first chord. The alder body is both light and strong, making the instrument easy to hold during long sets. Slab rosewood for the fingerboard adds a smooth, dark feel under the fingers and resists wear. Nickel/chrome hardware resists rust, while a hardshell case protects the instrument during travel. The neck joint uses a four-bolt pattern for added stability and long life.

Why the Vintera II Road Worn '60s Stratocaster Feels Like Home

When gear gets out of the way, you get to play. This Fender Stratocaster suits musicians drawn to the look and feel of a true vintage guitar, with the stability and setup of a modern build. The aged finish, classic pickups and reliable hardware let players focus on expressive technique, not maintenance or tuning issues. From the first chord, every session feels like picking up a trusted old favorite.
