Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Rosewood Fingerboard (Black) inc Case

Fender's American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster recreates the exact specifications of the early-'60s golden era, when rosewood fingerboards first appeared on the iconic model. This reissue brings period-correct features including a slab rosewood board, vintage-style tremolo, and three Pure Vintage '61 single-coil pickups that deliver the glassy, articulate tone synonymous with surf, blues, and early rock. The alder body wears a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Black, allowing the wood to breathe and age naturally over time. The 7.25-inch fingerboard radius and vintage tall frets sit on a maple neck with a thick soft 'V' profile that fills the hand. Pure Vintage '61 pickups are wired through a five-way switch with vintage wiring that offers the classic Strat quack in positions two and four. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo features six cold-rolled steel saddles and vintage-correct stamped steel block for authentic vibrato response. Kluson-style tuning machines and a bone nut complete the period-accurate hardware package, while the included hardshell case protects the instrument during transport.
