The Fender American Vintage II series is not only visually inspired by the historic designs that have made music history. We have also faithfully reproduced many period-specific details: bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, as well as pickups that have been carefully tuned to match the tone of the original model year. Thanks to traditional Fender craftsmanship, every instrument embodies the authentic character and sound of its respective original model.


In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fender musical instruments enjoyed steadily growing popularity. Although there were already several models in our range at that time, the Stratocaster ® was the queen. By 1961, its design had been refined. It was given a new 3-Colour Sunburst with a more vibrant red and wider black edges, as well as a three-ply pickguard to emphasise the famous Strat curves.


With its premium alder body, three Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups and a maple neck in a ‘Medium C’ profile with a 7.25” radius rosewood slab fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster radius, delivers the tone and feel of the original. Further details: historically accurate synchronised tremolo with cold-rolled steel block and curved steel saddles, ‘Fender Deluxe’ single-line tuners, three-ply pickguard.


The American Vintage II series brings back classic Fender models in their original form. Ideal for musicians who love our vintage tone and the feel that goes with it, and who appreciate the highest quality – right down to the last screw. Fender American Vintage II. The stuff legends are made of.

Fender gilt als einer der größten Hersteller und Wegbereiter der Solidbody-Gitarren. Als Schöpfer der Telecaster und Stratocaster schuf Gründer Leo Fender Meilensteine in der Geschichte elektrischer Gitarren und damit einen Kult. Schon der Name Fender genügt, um im Gehirn Melodien, Erinnerungen und Emotionen zu erzeugen. Wer eine Fender Telecaster oder eine Fender Stratocaster hört, dem kommen sofort legendäre Songs wie "Purple Haze" von Jimi Hendrix , "Smoke on the Water" von Deep Purple, "Cocaine" von Eric Clapton ins Ohr. Eine lange Geschichte steht ebenso hinter den berühmten Fender Amps. Leo Fender hat mit dem Bau von Gitarrenverstärkern bereits angefangen, bevor er die ersten Gitarren baute. Diese waren natürlich in Röhrentechnik gebaut, Fender begann erst in den späten 60er Jahren mit solidstate Modellen...
