Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster – Ash Body, Vintage Blonde

Step Back into the Golden Era of Fender

The Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster is a masterclass in historical accuracy and premium American craftsmanship. Built in Corona, California, this instrument captures the exact look, feel, and sound of one of the most coveted years in electric guitar history

Finished in a gorgeous translucent Vintage Blonde, this specific model features a premium Ash body—staying true to Fender’s 1950s tradition of using ash for blonde finishes to highlight the beautiful wood grain beneath the paint. Combined with a Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish that will age gracefully, this Stratocaster breathes and resonates just like a true vintage original.

Authentic '57 Feel and Vintage Chime

Whether you are chasing classic rock riffs or stinging blues leads, the American Vintage II '57 Stratocaster delivers. The 1-piece maple neck features a chunky 1957 "V" profile for an incredibly comfortable, substantial grip, while the Pure Vintage '57 single-coil pickups provide the signature crystalline chime and woody bite that made the Stratocaster famous.
