Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Left Handed, Olympic White Overview
The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster LH is a recreation of guitar from Fender's golden age. A genuine '61 Stratocaster, just as it was back then, can be yours in a brand-new form, with all the convenience of ultra-high quality, modern Fender construction. That means you'll get the sweet, bell-like chimes of three Pure Vintage '61 voiced pickups, but without any of the irritating hum from older models!
Together with its set of vintage tuners and synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, the American Vintage II offers an exact replica playing experience, with plenty of sustain, resonance and character. Joined by a bone nut and slab style rosewood fretboard, the playability is supremely fluid and seamless, with every note ringing clear and true. Complete with a brown vintage-style hard case, your prized '61 Strat will be fully protected from the moment you pick it up.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe pristine American Vintage series
Old but new. The American Vintage II series seeks to recreate classic Fender instruments with unerring detail, with faithful attention poured over every component - even down to the last screw!
Made in the Fender USA guitarworks, you're guaranteed outstanding quality on every model. And with each detail accurately recreating the year the guitar is from, it's almost as if you're buying an instrument from the past!
A completely authentic playability
We can reel off lists of components all day to convince you that the '61 Strat is accurate, but nothing compares to the actual feel of a guitar. And once you've held the classic medium "C" shaped neck on this Strat, you'll be totally convinced. It's eminently comfortable and presents a stunning vintage vibe thanks to its gloss nitro lacquer.
That's joined by a slab rosewood fretboard which serves up a chunky, retro feel. It's curved in a 7.25" radius for true retro playability, in addition to hosting 21 vintage tall sized frets for a precise action over the scales.
Highly accurate '61 sounds
Step back into the sixties. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '61 Single Coil Strat pickups, the American Vintage II produces a stunningly accurate tone. Built using period materials and configured to '60s standards, they're not only bright, but also full of chime and articulation.
So, if you're looking for the pluck and cluck of a classic Strat single coil, look no further, because Fender have done the hard work of recreating classic sonics for you!
Complete with premium Stratocaster appointments
Every component adds to the authenticity. The American Vintage II Stratocaster hosts a series of hardware that helps capture the essence of Fender tone and character. From its correct vintage style tuners that keep a tight grip on your strings, to its synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, every part boasts an unmatched quality.
In unison, the bridge, bone nut and vintage-style tuners deliver a pristine resonance, letting each note ring out clearly with sustain and clarity to give your playing peak definition. And what's more, these premium appointments are set in to an original-style alder body for the nimble, lightweight, and comfortable Strat attack.
