Classic Tonewoods
This Vintera II Stratocaster features a period-correct alder body, a stape Fender tonewood renowned for its balanced tonal profile with slightly pronounced upper-mids. The maple neck features a vintage-inspired '60s “C” profile, married to a smooth rosewood fingerboard. The fingerboard’s 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets present a more old-school feel that’s sure to appeal to both vintage Fender fans and modern players alike.
Vintage Voiced Pickups
Fender outfit the Vintera II 60s Stratocaster with three vintage-style '60s pickups, providing a nuanced palette of tones from sweet and sparkling to warm and woody. These pickups have been specially voiced to capture the sonic characteristics that make the original model one of the most sought-after electric guitars.
Robust Hardware
The vintage-style hardware does more than just enhance this Strat’s visual flair; it amplifies the entire playing experience. The responsive synchronized tremolo lets you introduce expressive vibrato to single notes and chords in true Strat fashion. The tuning machines feature a finer gear ratio, balancing the guitar’s retro aesthetics with modern tuning stability. The guitar’s hardware is chosen for long-term reliability, making sure that whether you’re onstage or in the studio, your focus remains solely on making music.
