Into the Strat-osphere


Wildwoodians, is there any guitar that has captured the hearts and minds of guitar players from every generation like the Strat? It seems like no matter what decade you're born in, as long as you're a guitar player you always find yourself listening to Jimi Hendrix or David Gilmour or SRV and imagining yourself with a Strat slung over your shoulder. There's just something about those body contours that elegant silhouette, and those sweet-sounding pickups that just makes your heartstrings resonate, and Fender has captured the essence of fifties Fender magic in the new American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster.

The sonic equation starts with a resonant body wrapped in a vintage-style nitrocellulose lacquer that allows the wood to breathe like a real vintage Fender. But, the Pure Vintage '57 pickups are the real star of the show. They're slightly underwound, which makes them quite dynamic and articulate with a sweet, balanced tone that could make the wind cry mary. They'll give you all the vintage-style sparkle, squawk, chime, and gristle you'll ever need.

It also has an immensely comfortable vintage-accurate V-shaped neck profile that will compel you to play 'til your fingers fall off. Said neck has a 7.25" radius, which makes for easy chording, and vintage tall frets to complete the fifties playing experience.

All of the little details are there too, and the synchronized tremolo, the steel block, the single-line Fender Deluxe tuners, and the one-ply pickguard all give it immense vintage vibe.

If you love vintage Strats, we have no doubt you'll love the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster. We invite you to take it for a spin and fall in love with the Strat all over again.
