Fender Stratocaster 50S Vintera II Mn Ocean Turquoise

A Strat with the Charm of the Origins, Reissued for Today's Musician

Designed to reproduce the aesthetics and feel of the first Stratocasters, the Vintera II '50s combines historical specifications (7.25" radius, 21 frets, 6-screw vibrato) with modern practical details (tall frets, 5-way selector). It stands as an accessible reference for those seeking the Fender DNA of the 50s without compromising current reliability.

For Which Musician and Styles?

Ideal for the ambitious beginner to the experienced guitarist, it shines in blues, rock'n'roll, surf, country, pop, and funk. The "Soft V" profile provides ease for chords as well as bending techniques, while the maple fingerboard offers a bright response suited to pick playing and snappy rhythms.

The Sound

The 50s style single-coil pickups deliver the full Fender spectrum: silky and "glassy" neck position, positions 2 and 4 with the characteristic "quack" ideal for funk and arpeggios, and a biting bridge pickup that cuts through the mix. The alder balances muscular mids and firm lows, while the maple fingerboard adds attack. The 6-point tremolo, combined with well-set vintage tuners, ensures a singing vibrato and natural sustain, and the volume/tone controls allow taming the high end without losing definition.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve character and playability, opt for nickel-plated steel strings .009-.042 (Fender 250L set as original). Add a 1/4" instrument cable (TS jack) of quality for a clean signal, a standard strap (classic strap buttons are compatible), and a stable guitar stand or a wall hanger suitable for electric guitars. The guitar comes with a Deluxe gig bag for transport.
