Revive the sound of music's golden age
The heart of this model lies with the trio of vintage-style mid-'60s pickups. These single coils capture the iconic voicing that made Fender instruments famous. With their woody warmth and bell-like, crystalline tones, '60s pickups deliver the classic singing, snapping, screaming, and sparkling sound that single-coils are known for. From blues to rock, these electronics will bring out the best in your playing.
The control features of the Vintera II provide you with the ability to shape and customise your sound to suit your preferences. The master volume allows you to adjust the overall output level, giving you control over the intensity and presence. And with the tone 1, dedicated to the neck/middle pickups, you can fine-tune the sonics for a smoother and warmer sound. The tone 2, on the other hand, is assigned to the bridge, allowing you to shape the brightness and clarity. Lastly, its 5-position blade switch provides you with a range of tonal options by selecting different combinations of pickups, giving you even more versatility and creative possibilities. Express your musical style with precision and flexibility.
Elegantly sculpted body for the ultimate performance
Sculpted with an alder body, this Stratocaster offers a classic tonewood known for its exceptional resonance, punch, and clarity. Alder delivers balanced and lively voicings with beefy mids and a robust low-end, making it perfect for a wide range of musical styles. From clean chords to blazing solos, the body of this Stratocaster ensures that your tone shines through with clarity and definition.
Explore the scale with ease
The neck of this Stratocaster is crafted with Fender's classic '60s "C" profile. This comfortably rounded shape is slim at the nut, allowing for easy chord formations and fast playing. As you move up the neck, it gradually thickens, providing an intuitive and inviting feel. Whether you're a rhythm player or a lead guitarist, the neck is designed to enhance your performance and enable effortless access to every fret.
This is complemented by a slab rosewood fingerboard, infusing the Vintera with warmth and depth. The 7.25" radius fingerboard provides a vintage feel and comfortable experience, and when combined with vintage tall frets, which offer slightly more height than traditional vintage frets, this Stratocaster allows for effortless bends and wide vibrato. Enjoy a smooth surface when playing chords or soaring leads.
Classic Fender components
Featuring a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, the '60s Vintera offers you access to a range of expressive and dynamic vibrato sounds. This six-point tremolo bridge design provides proper intonation and full adjustability, ensuring that your guitar stays in tune even during heavy tremolo use. With easy access to cool vibrato effects, this Stratocaster allows you to add texture and personality to your playing.
Plus, the tuning machines combine vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. These offer the look and feel of vintage machines, complete with a finely tuned gear ratio. With enhanced stability, you can confidently perform on stage or in the studio knowing that your guitar will sound pitch perfect, even during extended sessions.
