Vintage 60s Strat Soul With Ultra-Modern Firepower
If you love the feel and chime of a great 60s-style Strat but need modern reliability and playability, this American Ultra Luxe Vintage 60s Stratocaster hits that sweet spot. It is all the glassy top, scooped mids, and funky snap you expect from a Strat, with stainless frets, compound radius, and rock solid hardware that just does not quit.
This specific Surf Green beauty weighs in at 7.9 lbs and carries serial number US25003116. Photos are of the actual guitar, and it is sitting in our Evansville shop right now, fully dialed in and ready to go.
Heirloom Nitro Alder Body With Surf Green Mojo
The alder body keeps things classic and balanced: tight low end, clear mids, and that familiar Fender shimmer on top. The carved contours hug your body so it feels comfortable whether you are slung low on stage or tucked in for long sessions at home.
The Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer is where things get special. It looks like a well-loved vintage Strat, but more importantly, the thinner nitro lets the body resonate and bloom instead of feeling choked like thick poly. It already feels broken in, and it will only get better the more you play it.
Ultra Luxe Neck: Fast, Stable, And Built To Last
The quartersawn maple neck is built for serious players. The Modern D profile fills your hand without feeling like a baseball bat, so you get a confident grip for big bends and chords without fighting fatigue on long gigs.
Ultra rolled edges and a satin lacquer finish make it feel like a neck that has been played for decades. The 10″ to 14″ compound radius rosewood board starts comfy for chords down low and flattens out up high for buttery bends with zero fretting out. Medium jumbo stainless steel frets feel smooth, intonate beautifully, and will outlast pretty much any gigging schedule you can throw at them.
Pure Vintage ’61 Pickups With Extra Secret Sauce
Under the hood, the Pure Vintage ’61 single-coil Strat pickups serve up everything from glassy neck pickup cleans to wiry bridge bite. Clean, they are sparkly and three dimensional. Push them with gain and they stay articulate instead of turning into mush.
The S-1 switch is the secret weapon. It quietly adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2 so you get those cool neck-plus-bridge and all-three-on tones that vintage Strats never had. It is not a gimmick, it is just a couple more genuinely usable colors on the palette that still sound unmistakably Fender.
Hardware That Stays Out Of Your Way And In Tune
The 2-point Deluxe synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm feels smooth and precise, with a cold rolled steel block and polished stainless block saddles that help notes ring longer and keep attack focused. You can lean into subtle vibrato or get more expressive without the bridge going squirrely on you.
Deluxe locking tuners and locking strap buttons mean tuning stability and stage security are handled. Aged white plastics, mint green guard, and nickel/chrome hardware give it the right vintage look without sacrificing any modern reliability.
