Pure 1961 Strat Style, Recreated for Today
The Fender American FSR Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster in Black delivers the unmistakable tone and feel of a true early-’60s classic. Featuring a premium alder body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it’s loaded with Custom Shop Fat ’60s single-coil pickups for warm, articulate vintage tone with enhanced midrange punch. The 1961 “C”-shaped maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius offer smooth, responsive playability. Vintage-correct details like the Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, bent steel saddles, and single-line tuners capture the look and sound of the golden Fender era. Every detail evokes the craftsmanship and sound that defined the original Stratocaster legend.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Fender American FSR Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster is perfect for players who want timeless tone and authentic Fender feel with show-stopping vintage style.
This FSR (Fender Special Run) model features a black finish with gold hardware, Fender Custom Shop Fat '60s Stratocaster pickups, and is available in limited quantities.
