Fender American Vintage 70s Strat
The Fender American Vintage guitars are more than just copies - these are painstakingly accurate reproductions of the guitars from Fenders early years. Whilst shapes have remained much the same, manufacturing techniques have changed dramatically over the last 50 years.
However, Fender have gone back to the old ways & make the American Vintage guitars in much the same way as they would have been made originally.
Here's what Fender say about the American Vintage 70s Strat
Admit it, you loved the 70s, and so do we! This hybrid best of the 70s American Vintage Stratocaster guitar features all of the greatest elements of the now-classic 70s Strat guitars, including an ash (on transparent finishes) or alder body, U-shaped maple neck with improved three-bolt neck and Micro Tilt neck adjustment, 70-71 vintage-correct bridge, Diamond Head F tuners and specially voiced pickups. Other features include the unmistakable large headstock, 70s-style decal and bullet truss rod adjustment nut.
