Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster - Fiesta Red w/ Cleaning Kit

GLOSS NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER FINISH: Nitrocellulose lacquer, as used on '50s and '60's Fender instruments, is a premium finish that reveals the instrument's true tonal character.

7.25" RADIUS SLAB-ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD: The 7.25"-radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

1961 'C'-SHAPE NECK: In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender's past.

PURE VINTAGE '61 STRATOCASTER PICKUPS: Specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years, Pure Vintage pickups are constructed just like pickups from Fender's golden years. Materials include cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins and alnico magnets.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE BOX: This bundle includes a premium molded hardshell case to protect your instrument from any outer or inner damage. A hat is included to play your instrument with style. A strap is also included to carry your instrument easily while playing or traveling, and an instrument cable is included so that you can connect and start playing immediately. A guitar cleaning kit including a string cleaner and micro-fibre cloth is included to keep your guitar in mint condition.

By 1961, the Stratocaster had taken on a more refined aesthetic, with a 3-Color Sunburst reformulated with a more vibrant red and bolder black edge, topped with a 3-ply pickguard accenting the Strat's signature curves. Featuring a premium alder body, a trio of Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups and a medium "C"-Shaped maple neck mated with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Other appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners and 3-ply pickguard. The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw.
