Pre-Owned Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster, Rosewood Fingerboard - Olympic White with Hard Shell Case

The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster: Classic Style, Pure Vintage Tone

Authentic Fender vintage craftsmanship

The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster represents a meticulous revival of one of Fender’s most celebrated eras. This pre-owned model in Olympic White channels the spirit of the early '60s with an unwavering commitment to period-correct appointments. From its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish to its slab rosewood fingerboard, this Strat delivers the look, feel, and sound of a golden-era original. No detail overlooked.

Vintage-style tone and feel

At the heart of this Strat are three Pure Vintage ’61 single-coil pickups, carefully voiced to recreate the chime, clarity, and punch that defined the Stratocaster’s legacy. Paired with a 5-way blade switch and vintage-style wiring, you get access to a full palette of expressive tones—from crystalline highs to throaty mids. The medium “C” maple neck and 7.25” radius slab rosewood board offer a period-accurate feel.

Roadworthy refinement and playability

While steeped in vintage DNA, this Strat is more than ready for modern players. The 25.5” scale length delivers that classic snap and sustain, while the tremolo adds the shimmer and articulation that Strat players crave. The “Fender Deluxe” tuners round out the setup with vintage-correct charm and dependable functionality to boot.

Excellent condition with minor signs of use

This guitar is in excellent condition overall, showing only light play and surface wear on the top and back, all of which is visible in the photos. These minor blemishes don’t detract from its appearance or performance and are typical of a well-maintained instrument that’s seen gentle use. It’s a stunning piece with timeless tone and style, ready for the stage or the studio.

Includes vintage-style case and classic accessories

The guitar comes with its original vintage-style brown hard shell case with orange interior, ensuring it travels safely and in style. Whether you're a collector chasing period-accurate specs or a player in search of expressive single-coil tones, this Stratocaster strikes a compelling balance between old-school mojo and professional-grade reliability.
