Vintage 57 Strat Magic Without The Vintage Headaches
The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster is Fender going all in on what made the original legend: alder body, V neck, glassy single coils, and a real nitro finish. You get the feel and tone of a mid 50s Strat, without the sketchy refrets, rewinds, and mystery repairs.
This one tips the scales at 8 lbs, so it has enough mass to sing and sustain, but it will not wreck your shoulder halfway through a set. If you have been chasing that classic two tone burst Strat sound, this hits that sweet spot.
Alder Body, Nitro Finish, And That 2 Color Sunburst Glow
The alder body keeps things balanced and focused, with a tight low end and clear mids that let every position shine. Plugged in or unplugged, you can feel the body resonate against your ribs and bloom on held chords.
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer is the real deal, not a thick plastic shell. It lets the wood breathe and age the way vintage Fenders do, while that 2 Color Sunburst looks like it stepped out of a black and white photo from 1957 and straight onto your strap.
The 1957 V Neck That Just Feels Like Home
Fender nailed the 1957 V carve on this one. It is a comfortable soft V that fills your hand without feeling like a baseball bat, perfect for thumb over players and anyone who likes to dig in on bends.
The 1 piece maple neck and 7.25 inch radius fingerboard keep it period correct, while the vintage tall frets make bends and vibrato feel easy and controlled. Gloss nitro on the neck starts slick, but it will break in over time into that smooth, played in feel we all love.
Pure Vintage 57 Pickups And Classic Strat Chime
The trio of Pure Vintage 57 single coil Strat pickups are the heart of this guitar. The bridge has that bright bite and grit you want for early rock and country, without crossing into ice pick territory.
The neck is round and glassy for buttery leads and clean chords, and the in between 2 and 4 positions give you that scooped, quacky sweetness everyone wants from a real Strat. With the SSS layout, 5 way switch, and traditional volume and two tone controls, it covers everything from clean worship tones to edge of breakup blues.
Vintage Synchronized Tremolo With Modern Reliability
The Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo, cold rolled steel block, and bent steel saddles are all about feel and tone. You get that smooth, elastic Strat warble for subtle shimmers and chord dips, along with the snap and attack of a proper vintage style bridge.
A bone nut, 6 screw bridge, and Pure Vintage single line Fender Deluxe tuners work together to keep things stable when you lean on the bar. Set up right, it will return to pitch and stay locked in through a full night of trem work.
