The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster gives you an authentic recreation of the iconic electric guitar that shaped rock and roll. The alder body and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish provide full, resonant tone, while a trio of vintage-accurate ’61 Strat pickups deliver the classic single-coil chime and bite that shaped generations of music. The maple neck sports a comfortable medium C profile and a 7.25″-radius rosewood fingerboard for a fast, familiar feel. A synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuners provide an authentic 1961 Strat experience that captures the spirit of Fender’s “golden age” of craftsmanship.
