American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, 2-Color Sunburst

American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, 2-Color Sunburst - A Tribute to Fender's Mid-Century Masterpiece

The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Authentic 1957 Stratocaster Design

With its alluring curves, sparkling sounds, and groundbreaking tremolo bridge, Fender’s 1954 Stratocaster was a phenomenon unlike anything the world had ever seen. By 1957, the Stratocaster had crystallized into a mid-century masterpiece. The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original with a trio of Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster pickups, sweeping body contours, and a supremely comfortable “V”-shape neck with a 7.25” radius maple fingerboard.

Period-Accurate Hardware and Finishes

The vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners, and a single-ply pickguard provide an authentic look and feel. Offered in stunning nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, including the classic 2-Color Sunburst, this Stratocaster celebrates a true icon of Fender instrument design.

Unmatched Quality and Craftsmanship

The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders, designed for players with a fine 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 stuff of legends.
