Description
The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster in White Blonde is built for players chasing that unmistakable late-'50s Strat feel, look, and tone. It's a great match for intermediate to pro-level guitarists who want vintage character with the dependability of a modern build. This one leans hard into the refined mid-decade Stratocaster design, with period-correct appointments and Custom Shop pickups that keep it rooted in golden-era tone.
It features an ash body with a gloss nitro finish and a one-piece 3A flame maple neck carved into a sharp and comfy '57-style "V" profile. The trio of Custom Shop Fat '50s pickups gives you all the chime, warmth, and glassy attack you'd expect from a great Strat, but with a bit more low-end fullness. The Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles nails the old-school feel, while the five-way switch and dedicated tone controls give you more flexibility than the originals ever did.
This guitar plays exceptionally well. The 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets offer a smooth ride for both rhythm work and expressive lead playing. With its solid tuning stability, accurate hardware, and standout aesthetics, it's a reliable go-to whether you're in the studio or hitting the stage. We've had plenty of vintage-style Strats through here, and this one really holds its own.
