The Vintera II '60s Stratocaster is Fender's love letter to the golden era of the instrument — roughly 1962 to 1965, when the Strat had a rosewood fingerboard, a rounder C-shaped neck, and a sound that defined a generation of rock and R&B. The pickups are Fender's '60s-correct single-coils with staggered Alnico 5 poles, and the synchronized tremolo uses a vintage-style bent steel saddle design.

The 7.25" fingerboard radius is the authentic vintage spec — rounder than modern boards, which takes adjustment if you're used to a flatter neck, but gives you that buttery vintage chord feel that Strat lovers obsess over. The 3-Color Sunburst finish over alder is the definitive classic Strat look. Made in Mexico, priced fairly for the spec level.
