Product information "Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster 3-Colour Sunburst (Return)"

The Fender® American Vintage II series is not only visually inspired by the historic designs that wrote music history. We have also reproduced many details typical of the era exactly: Bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and pickups that are carefully matched to the tone of the original model year. Thanks to traditional Fender craftsmanship, each instrument embodies the authentic character and sound of the original model.


In the late 50s and early 60s, Fender musical instruments enjoyed a steadily growing popularity. Although there were already several models in our range at that time, the Stratocaster® was the queen. Its design was refined until 1961. It was given a new 3-colour sunburst with a more vibrant red and wider black edges, as well as a three-ply pickguard to emphasise the famous Strat curves.


The American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster with its premium alder body, three Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups and maple neck in medium C profile with slab rosewood fingerboard in 7.25 radius offers the tone and feel of the original. Further details: historically correct synchronised tremolo with cold-rolled steel block and bent steel string riders, Fender Deluxe single-line tuners, three-ply pickguard.


The American Vintage II series brings back classic Fender models in their original form. Ideal for musicians who love our vintage tone and feel and appreciate the highest quality - down to the last screw. Fender American Vintage II. The stuff legends are made of.
