American Vintage ‘57 Stratocaster®

0100102

One of the most popular instruments in history, our Fender® Stratocaster guitar is certainly the most imitated electric guitar ever. 1957 was a benchmark year for the instrument, evolving from its early incarnations into an archetype - and the high point of the era of the maple neck Strat® guitar. Original detailing includes our unique ‘57/’62 pickups three-way switching (five-way switch kit included), beveled pickup magnets, ashtray bridge cover, and single-ply pickguard.
