As part of the American Vintage II series, this guitar stands out for its exact reproduction of historical designs and tonal details.

Every component of this Stratocaster, from the pickups to the hardware, is meticulously crafted to match the original 1961 model, embodying the high craftsmanship that Fender is renowned for.
Fender has made a lasting impact on the music world since the 1950s, particularly with the introduction of the Stratocaster, which quickly became an icon. By 1961, the Stratocaster’s design had been refined to meet the demands of the emerging rock and pop music scene. Founded in 1946, Fender has continuously pushed the boundaries of innovation while maintaining its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The American Vintage II series highlights this legacy by reintroducing classic designs and preserving the artistry that has made Fender one of the world’s leading guitar manufacturers.
The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Strat RW 3TB Electric Guitar offers a range of technical features that capture the essence of the original model. The body is crafted from premium alder, a wood known for its balanced and full tone, a hallmark of Fender guitars. This guitar features a glossy nitrocellulose lacquer finish, not only adding to its stunning aesthetics but also allowing the wood to breathe and develop a beautiful patina over time.
At the heart of the guitar are three Pure Vintage '61 Single-Coil Strat® pickups, delivering the unmistakable Stratocaster sound. These pickups have been designed to authentically replicate the tone of the original 1961 model, from the crisp highs to the punchy mids and rich bass. The guitar’s 5-way blade switch allows for a variety of tonal combinations, ranging from sharp leads to warm, rhythmic tones.
The neck is made of maple and features a “C”-shaped profile, offering comfortable playability and a natural feel. The slab rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25-inch radius is another period-correct detail that enhances the guitar’s vintage aesthetics and playability. With a scale length of 25.5 inches (64.77 cm), the guitar offers the perfect string tension for a tight, responsive playing experience.
The hardware on the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Strat RW 3TB Electric Guitar is also a faithful reproduction of the original model. The guitar features a Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block, providing excellent tuning stability and smooth tremolo action. This style of tremolo bridge was a groundbreaking feature in the early 1960s, contributing to the Stratocaster’s reputation as a versatile and flexible electric guitar.
The "Fender Deluxe" single-line tuners are another period-correct detail, contributing not only to the classic look but also ensuring precise tuning. Fender has paid close attention to every detail in the American Vintage II series to ensure the authentic feel and tone of a 1961 Stratocaster are faithfully replicated.
