If you’re seeking an electric guitar that strikes the perfect balance between era-accurate specs and modern craftsmanship, look no further than the Fender Vintera II 50s Stratocaster. Designed for discerning players who adore vintage Fender guitars and are looking for a reliable workhorse guitar, the Vintera II range sets a new standard in authenticity and tone.
Classic Fender Tonewoods
The alder body and maple neck of the Vintera II 50s Stratocaster is a classic tonewood combination that’s been a Fender staple for decades. Alder’s tonal profile is nicely balanced with a responsive upper mid-range. When combined with the brightness of the maple neck, the result is a truly articulate instrument suitable for diverse range of styles and genres.
Soft “V” Neck Profile & Vintage Radius
The Vintera II 50s Strat features a soft “V”-shape that’s based on the original model. This neck profile provides a natural hand fit, reducing fretting-hand fatigue during long playing sessions. This is especially beneficial when playing chords that require thumb-over techniques or when you need that extra leverage for string-bending and vibrato. The vintage-style 7.25" fingerboard radius is slightly curved, facilitating comfortable chording whilst providing enough latitude for expressive bends without fretting out.
Capturing the Sound of an Era
A key part of what makes the original '50s Stratocaster so sought-after is its bright, bell-like tonality. The vintage-style '50s pickups in the Vintera II rendition encapsulate this iconic sound. These pickups reproduce the high-end sparkle and woody warmth that have made the Stratocaster a staple in countless classic recordings.
Robust Hardware
The Fender Vintera II 50s Stratocaster is outfitted with a vintage-style synchronized tremolo that allows for nuanced pitch adjustments — from subtle vibrato to dramatic pitch drops. The Vintera II tuning machines feature a refined gear ratio for improved tuning stability and a period-correct design that compliments the 50s-inspired aesthetic.
