American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster
(Lake Placid Blue)
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.
By 1973, now-classic CBS design specs had become the new standard and were commonly used by rock, funk, fusion and prog players across the globe. Weekly late night music television shows like Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, In concert and Midnight Special provided more exposure than ever for Fender instruments, further confirming the Stratocaster as a leader and phenomenon in pop culture.
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.

1973 "C" Maple NeckThe “C”-shape maple neck feels amazing to play, with a 7.25” radius maple fingerboard and vintage tall frets.
