The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster recreates one of the most iconic Stratocaster designs with period-correct specifications, vintage-inspired tone, and classic Fender craftsmanship. It features an alder body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, a maple neck with a comfortable 1961 “C” profile, and a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets.
A trio of Pure Vintage ’61 single-coil Stratocaster pickups delivers the clear, articulate tones associated with early-'60s Strats, from sparkling neck sounds to punchy bridge tones. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners, bone nut, clay dot inlays, and a 3-ply mint green pickguard complete the period-accurate design.
The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster is built for players who appreciate the feel, response, and character of an authentic vintage Fender, while benefiting from the consistency and reliability of a modern production instrument.
