The Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster in Vintage White is a solid option for players who want an authentic '70s feel and tone without hunting down a vintage original. Ideal for intermediate to professional players, this model nails the CBS-era Strat aesthetic and sound, from the oversized headstock to the three-bolt neck plate. If you're chasing tones heard on classic late-night TV performances or '70s studio records, this one's built to take you there.
This Strat comes loaded with Pure Vintage '73 single-coil pickups in all three positions, voiced specifically to capture that era's slightly hotter, punchier tone. You've got a 5-way switch and the S-1 switch onboard, which adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2 for extra tonal range. The ash body gives it a bright, snappy attack, and the 6-screw vintage-style tremolo feels solid and responsive. The neck is a 1973 "C" shape with a 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, offering a balance between vintage flavor and modern comfort.
It plays fast, stays in tune, and feels like it was built to be on a stage. The frets are medium jumbo, which helps with bends and overall playability. It's finished in gloss polyurethane, just like the originals, and the nickel/chrome hardware feels solid across the board. We've been impressed by how well this model holds its own against the real deal-whether you're gigging or tracking in the studio, it's a reliable workhorse with vintage soul.
