Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster – Fiesta Red

The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster captures the look, feel, and sound of Fender’s golden era. Finished in Fiesta Red nitro lacquer over an alder body, this USA-made Strat is resonant, lightweight, and ready to age gracefully.

A beautifully figured 3A flame maple neck features a comfortable 1961 “C” profile with a satin-finished back for a smooth, broken-in feel. The slab rosewood fingerboard offers a 7.25″ radius with vintage-tall frets and classic clay dot inlays. Three Custom Shop Fat ’60s single-coils deliver warm, glassy Strat tones, with a 5-way switch and traditional control layout.

Period-correct hardware includes a Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo, Fender Deluxe tuners, and a 3-ply mint green pickguard. Includes a vintage-style brown case with plush orange interior.

Weight: 7lbs 8oz
