The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. By 1973, now-classic CBS design cues had become standard spec and were widely used by rock, funk, fusion and prog players around the world. Weekly late night music television shows like Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, In concert and Midnight Special provided more exposure than ever for Fender instruments, further cementing the Stratocaster's dominance as a pop culture phenomenon.
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. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
This Dealer Exclusive model has an ash body and Pure Vintage 73 Single-Coil Strat Pickups plus Fender’s S-1 Switch on the volume control, which adds the Neck Pickup. We performed a complete setup on this guitar so it is playing at its absolute best and is ready to rock when you unbox it. We love the new American Vintage II line of guitars, and this very "Hendrix" Dealer Exclusive instrument has lots of mojo already. Once it’s gone it is gone for good. Don't miss out on this one!
