This Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster is in very good condition with only minimal signs of use. There are a few small dings on the bass side of the body and light superficial surface scratches on the back. The neck is straight, exceptionally comfortable, and plays beautifully. The electronics function flawlessly and deliver the unmistakable vintage Strat tone. This is an outstanding-playing guitar that's difficult to put down.

Includes the original Fender vintage-style hardshell case and all case candy shown.

The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster faithfully recreates one of Fender's most celebrated early-'60s instruments, capturing the look, feel, and sound that defined an era. Finished in timeless Fiesta Red, this model combines period-correct construction with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver an authentic vintage Stratocaster experience.

The alder body is finished in a thin gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the guitar to resonate freely while aging gracefully over time. A comfortable 1961 "C"-shaped maple neck is paired with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, providing the familiar feel and effortless playability that made the original such a favorite among players.

A trio of Pure Vintage '61 Stratocaster single-coil pickups produces everything from sparkling cleans and bell-like highs to warm, expressive mids and articulate low end. Whether you're playing surf, blues, classic rock, or modern styles, this Strat delivers the unmistakable clarity and dynamic response that have made the model legendary.

Vintage-inspired appointments include a synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles, Pure Vintage Single Line "Fender Deluxe" tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware, and the traditional Stratocaster control layout with a 5-way selector switch, master volume, and dual tone controls.
