American Original ‘60s Stratocaster
(3-Color Sunburst)
pure 1960's rock n roll!Fender’s American Original ‘60s Stratocaster hands you a brilliantly authentic experience of playing the iconic ‘60s Fender Strat, but with a modern feel so good that you’ll have difficulty in putting this guitar down! During the 1960s, music and popular culture itself underwent radical changes, throughout this time, conversely, the Stratocaster underwent a period of maturation.
The traditional white pickguard was changed out for a cool ‘mint green’ pickguard, whilst the original Maple fingerboard was traded for Rosewood – giving the already clear and nuanced voice of the Strat an even smoother voice.
Across Fender’s American Original ‘60s Stratocaster, you’ll find all the classic features are here, just with a modern feel to bring this iconic piece of rock history into the hands of modern guitarists!

Pure Vintage '65 pickups
100% AuthenticityThe American Original ‘60s Strats ‘Pure Vintage 65’ single coils are straight from the 1960s, they’re as authentic as they come. Right down to fiber bobbins and Alnico V magnets, through to the enamel-coated coil wire and cloth-covered output wiring.
With wax potting to keep feedback at bay and a contemporary 5-way pickup selector, this is the real deal!
Synchronised Tremolo systemEnabling you to achieve those unforgettable vintage whammy sounds, Fender outfitted the American Original ‘60s Stratocaster with their Pure Vintage 6 Saddle Synchronised Tremolo system.
Everything from mild warbles through to raucous divebombs is up for grabs here!
Beautiful Stratocaster Curves!
'3-Color Sunburst' finishThe gorgeous American Original ‘60s Stratocaster is built around a lightweight, highly resonant alder body which retains all of it’s tonal character and voice thanks to a sleek nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
Finished here in a stunning 3-Color Sunburst finish, this guitar looks as good as it sounds and plays!
Chunky "C" neckFender included a comfortable ‘C’ neck-profile across the American Original ‘60s Strat range which lends itself equally well to all playing styles. Whilst a little more chunky than the modern ‘C’ neck, this neck is still beautifully contoured for both thumb-behind and thumb-over guitarists.
One of the coolest advantages the ‘60s Strat has over the classic ’65 is it’s larger 9.5” fingerboard radius. Perfect for those fiddly leads at the higher end of the neck!

PURE VINTAGE ‘65
PICKUPSAmerican Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce authentic Fender sound.
THICK “’60S C”
NECK SHAPEThe thick "’60s C"-shaped neck profile is sculpted for a vintage-style playing feel. It’s remarkably comfortable and ideal for any playing style.
VINTAGE-ACCURATE BODY
AND NECK RADIUSOriginal-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.
VINTAGE-CORRECT
HARDWAREFrom the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original.
FINGERBOARD
& FRETSThis 9.5”-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.
