Product Description

‘50s Fender Strats are some of the most sought-after instruments in the world. The Vintera range replicates those old school fittings, finishes and specs with modern construction techniques. This is the perfect homage to the golden era of guitars.

The Vintera '50s Strat is all you could ask for of a vintage inspired Fender at an accessible price. It’s equipped with an uncanny array of hardware and electronics replicating glorious mid-20th century feel and tone.

Construction

One of the biggest factors at play on the retro Vintera design is its soft V shape neck. It fills the fretting hand aplenty, whilst guaranteeing smooth transition up and down the matching maple neck and fretboard.

At a 7.25” radius, the fingerboard is narrow and easy to perform techniques like a wrap around thumb on the low string. It’s topped with 21 classic thin, tall frets to complete the genuine playing experience.

Sound

This Vintera makes use of a trio of low output '50s single coil pickups. You've heard that snappy, bell-like tone a million times before, but this is a real opportunity to get it for yourself. It's the ideal chimey sound for classic genres such as blues, pop and rock. There’s plenty of room to manoeuvre using the five position switch.

Hardware

You know you've got your hands on a classic guitar when the hardware feels this authentic. Everything from the tuners, to the six-saddle tremolo bridge and four screw bolt-on neck is vintage replica. As with all Fender guitars, the hardware is highly reliable and can take on years of playing having been made in their high-tech Mexico factory.

It seemed ok out the box, but it would not stay in tune. 3 of the strings were dead sounding at the nut and the pickguard and backplate were buckled. As it felt nice to play and was nice and resonant I elected to sort it out myself. I now have a super guitar.

Mrs Susan Milton6th Aug 2019

A wonderful instrument for a very good price. I much prefer the old style neck/fretboard profile, I also don't like the two pin style tremolo as they lack a bit of sustain, so the six screw old style trem on these is far better in my opinion even though it does take a bit more faffing about to set it up. I honestly cannot fault this guitar, the low output pick ups are great the old colours are wonderful. I really like these old style Fenders, the thin necked flat (and fatter) fretboard of the USA Strats just don't cut the mustard. Although this is my first Mexican built Strat I've owned lots of Strats over the years and can honestly say that this is one of the better one's I've had. Well done Fender for going back to its roots at long last.
