Limited Edition '70s Strat

Fitted with a set of Custom Shop '69 single-coil pickups, this limited edition Fender Vintera '70s Strat has a spellbinding voice that'll outshine frankly any other guitar of a similar price. A hardtail bridge is another feature unique to original '70s Strats — a rare appointment that this special edition Fender Strat pays homage to.

Timeless Fender Construction

Fender has relied on a favoured tonewood combination for the Vintera '70s Strat. Boasting an Alder body, this medium-weight material keeps things balanced across the frequency spectrum; the perfect tonal foundation for the pokey pickups. The Alder body is joined with a bolt-on Maple neck, bringing out some bright top-end snap that gives the instrument a very responsive and immediate feel.

Early '70s "C" Neck Profile

A time-honoured early '70s "C” profile provides a comfortable feel; slim enough for contemporary players yet thick enough to keep the old-school aficionados happy. Vintage frets also contribute to the nostalgic feel, as well as the period-accurate 7.25" fingerboard radius.

Custom Shop '69 Pickups

For authentic Fender tone, this limited edition '70s Vintera Stratocaster sports three Custom Shop ‘69 single-coils — wired in the USA. Crystalline and bell-like, these pickups emit the crisp, articulate sounds that put Fender on the map!

Hardtail Bridge

Original hardtail '70s Strats are highly sought-after, and Fender has paid tribute to these rare instruments with its limited edition Vintera '70s Strat. Said to achieve greater sustain and deeper lows, a hardtail bridge is preferred by players who forgo tremolos in favour of a more solid feel and a richer sound.

Vintage "F"-Stamped Tuners

The period-correct "F"-stamped machine heads offer vintage-era aesthetics, while their bulletproof design ensures stellar performance and exceptional tuning stability.

Mr Daniel Merchant19th Jul 2023

Great guitar. Mexican built but feels American. The saddles look cheaper than the US ones, but looks aside there is no noticeable difference to my ears. Tone is great, and no saddle buzz. The Custom Shop pickups are THE Strat sound.

Absolutely love this Guitar, these MIMs are faultless and every bit as well made as my USA fenders. The CS69 pickups in this blew me away, I've never had a favourite pickup until.now.
