Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster MN Vintage Blonde

The Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster MN, finished in Vintage Blonde, is part of the American Vintage II series. Much like its predecessor, the American Vintage series, the American Vintage II series revives some of the most revolutionary designs in the history of the electric guitar. Built with uncompromising detail and impeccable craftsmanship, this series features period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, as well as some incredible finishes, and painstakingly voiced year-specific pickups. Each instrument captures the spirit of its namesake, and is a testament to authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Just three years after its introduction to the world, the '57 Stratocaster was already recognised as an instant classic - the alluring looks and tone, and the incredibly innovative tremolo bridge took the guitar world by storm. This faithful tribute features three Pure Vintage '57 Single-Coil Strat pickups, a period-accurate Ash body with sweeping contours, an eminently comfortable period-accurate 1957 "V"-profile 1-Piece Maple neck, and Maple fingerboard with 21 Vintage Tall frets. Other period-accurate features abound, like a Pure Vintage synchronised tremolo, Pure Vintage single-line Fender Deluxe machine heads, and a 1-ply parchment pickguard. An understated yet eye-catching Vintage Blonde Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish completes the vintage aesthetic, while a vintage-style tweed hard case with crushed red interior keeps your instrument protected in style.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we love the Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster MN, in Vintage Blonde, for its incredible revival of a vintage classic - if you love the look, feel and tone of vintage instruments (but don't love their price tag), this is definitely one to consider.
