Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Fiesta Red Fender

This is the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster in Fiesta Red. The American Vintage II Series is a continuation and improvement upon the beloved Fender American Vintage Series that pays homage to Fender’s history and heritage.

During the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, the popularity of Fender musical instruments flourished, and although the Fender assortment had expanded to include many great new instruments, the Stratocaster® reigned supreme. By 1961, the Stratocaster had taken on a more refined aesthetic, with a 3-Color Sunburst reformulated with a more vibrant red and bolder black edge, topped with a 3-ply pickguard accenting the Strat’s signature curves.

Featuring a premium alder body, a trio of Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups and a medium “C”-Shaped maple neck mated with a 7.25” radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Other appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and 3-ply pickguard.

If you want an American-made Fender that has all of the historically-accurate parts and tones, it doesn’t get much better than the American Vintage II series!
