American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster
(3-Colour Sunburst)
Authentic Fender Tone & PlayabilityThe Fender® American Vintage II series is an incredibly accurate take on the revolutionary designs that shaped the course of musical history. Made using period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and carefully voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
During the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, Fender musical instruments' popularity flourished, and although the Fender assortment had expanded to include many great new instruments, the Stratocaster® remained the leader. By 1961, the Stratocaster had taken on a more refined aesthetic, with a 3-Colour Sunburst and redesigned with a more vibrant red and bolder black edge, topped with a 3-ply pickguard accenting the Strat’s signature curves.
The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players that have a deep appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the product of legends.
