The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster in White Blonde with a Flame Maple Neck is a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic electric guitars in history. Meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the 1957 Stratocaster, this instrument combines period-accurate design, premium materials, and vintage-inspired electronics to deliver an authentic playing experience. Whether you’re a collector, a vintage enthusiast, or a player seeking classic tone and feel, this Stratocaster offers a stunning blend of historic charm and modern reliability.
Featuring a solid ash body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar boasts the alluring curves and timeless silhouette that defined the mid-century Stratocaster. The 1-piece 3A flame maple neck with a 1957 "V" profile and satin nitrocellulose lacquer back provides comfortable playability and a smooth, fast feel. The 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets enhance the vintage vibe while ensuring precise note articulation.
Equipped with Custom Shop Fat '50s and Fat '60s single-coil Strat pickups, this model delivers the sparkling, articulate tones that made the Stratocaster legendary. The Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with bent steel saddles offers expressive vibrato capabilities, while the aged white hardware and pickguard complete the vintage aesthetic. Every detail, from the bone nut to the vintage-style tuning machines, has been carefully selected to honour Fender’s heritage and provide players with an instrument that sounds and feels like a true classic.
Authentic Vintage Design
The 1957 Stratocaster shape and neck profile have been faithfully recreated to offer players the exact feel and style of this mid-century masterpiece. The gloss nitrocellulose finish on the ash body and satin finish on the maple neck ensure both visual appeal and tonal resonance, capturing the spirit of the original instruments.
Custom Shop Pickups
