Fender - American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Olympic White

This product is no longer available for sale
ST Style Guitar

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fender musical instruments became increasingly popular, but although Fender's catalog grew, the Stratocaster reigned supreme. In 1961, the aesthetics of the Stratocaster were refined; the 3-tone Sunburst finish reformulated to feature a brighter red and deeper black, and a three-ply pickguard accentuate the Strat's curves.

ARTICLE N° 85007
The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster in Olympic White finish is an electric guitar that celebrates the classic design and tonal characteristics of one of the Stratocaster's most iconic eras.

True to original 1961 specifications, this guitar delivers an authentic playing experience with high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail.

The alder body is coated with a gloss nitrocellulose varnish, allowing the wood to breathe and age beautifully over time, while providing exceptional resonance.

The maple neck, with a 1961 "C" profile, is designed to provide optimal playing comfort and a natural grip. The nitrocellulose gloss varnish on the neck adds a classic feel and vintage aesthetic.

The Slab rosewood fingerboard, with a 7.25" (184.1 mm) radius and 21 Vintage Tall frets, offers smooth and precise playability, ideal for fast bends and solos.

Clay Dot fingerboard markers add a touch of authenticity, while the 1.650" (42mm) wide bone nut ensures precise tuning stability and intonation.

The three Pure Vintage 61 Single-Coil pickups capture the legendary sound of the '60s Stratocaster, delivering brilliant clarity, dynamic response and incomparable warmth.

Controls include a Master Volume, Tone 1 for the neck and middle pickups, and Tone 2 for the bridge pickup, allowing a wide variety of tonal adjustments. The 5-position pickup selector switch provides maximum flexibility for exploring different sound combinations.

Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe” tuners ensure exceptional tuning precision and reliability. The Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo bridge, with folded steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel tremolo block, enables stable and expressive tremolo effects.

The 3-Ply Mint Green pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware complete the classic aesthetic of this guitar.

The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster comes assembled with 010-046 gauge strings and factory tuned for optimal performance right out of the case. The Vintage-Style Tweed case with an orange interior adds a touch of retro style while providing superior protection for your instrument.

The 6-Screw Vintage-Style bridge and included chrome bridge cover add authentic finishing touches to this faithful replica of the 1961 Stratocaster. This guitar is an ideal choice for musicians looking for vintage tone and a timeless classic aesthetic.
