Description
The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Rosewood in Surf Green is built for players who want the feel and tone of an early 60s Strat without compromise. If you are after glassy cleans, articulate low end, and that unmistakable vintage snap, this model stays true to the era that defined the Stratocaster's rise. The Surf Green finish paired with the mint green guard just looks right, and it feels every bit as classic as it sounds.
The alder body is finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, giving it a lively, resonant feel that will age naturally over time. The maple neck carries a 1961 C profile and is topped with a slab rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25 inch radius and 21 vintage tall frets. It is round and comfortable in the hand, especially for chord work and expressive bends. A trio of Pure Vintage 61 single-coil Strat pickups delivers bright, detailed highs, balanced mids, and that signature chime. The 5-position blade switch and traditional volume and dual tone layout give you all the classic in-between tones you expect from a great Strat.
Pure Vintage single line Fender Deluxe tuners and a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles keep everything feeling period correct and stable. The vintage-style brown case with orange interior completes the package. We like this one because it captures the refined look and tone of a 1961 Strat in a way that feels authentic and inspiring, whether you are recording or playing live.
