Information

The Essentials to Know About the Fender Vintera II '50s Stratocaster Guitar
• Immediate "fifties" feel: Mid '50s Soft "V" neck profile and vintage 7.25" / 184.1 mm radius to recapture the sensations of the first Strats.
• True '50s Strat sound: 3 single-coil "50s style" pickups for bright cleans, singing mids, and the legendary "quack" in the intermediate positions.
• Alder and maple combo: precise attack, clarity, and sustain, ideal for punchy rhythms as well as expressive leads.
• Vintage 6-point vibrato: six-screw synchronized tremolo and vintage-style hardware for lively playing with a decidedly old-school feel.

A Stratocaster Inspired by the Origins at the Heart of the Vintera II Series

The Fender Vintera II '50s Stratocaster belongs to the brand's "vintage-inspired" lineage: the aesthetics and feel of '50s Strats, with construction designed for everyday reliability. It features the essential codes (SSS configuration, 6-point vibrato, V-shaped neck, alder and maple construction) that make the charm of the first Stratocasters, in a version ready for both stage and studio.

Who Is It For and What For?

This Stratocaster is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a true vintage feel (7.25" / 184.1 mm radius, 21 frets, traditional vibrato) and a highly dynamic response to playing nuances. It excels in blues, surf, rock'n'roll, country, and pop: from crisp chords to singing melodic lines, while maintaining the typical versatility of an SSS Strat.

The Sound

The three "50s style" single-coil pickups deliver clear brightness and quick attack, with a sense of precision that highlights both pick and fingerstyle playing. The neck pickup remains round and expressive, the middle pickup adds snap and definition, while the bridge pickup offers ideal bite for cutting rhythms and incisive leads. The 5-position selector switch allows exploitation of the characteristic scooped tones in positions 2 and 4, and the electronics with master volume + two tone controls (one dedicated to the bridge pickup) facilitate adjusting brightness without losing vintage identity. The combination of alder body and maple neck/fretboard promotes projection, attack clarity, and solid sustain, while the Vintage Tall frets help gain control over bends and vibrato.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, a set of electric guitar strings with gauge .009-.042 (original setup) is a natural choice, and a standard strap will suit standing play. A Deluxe gig bag is included for transport.
