Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Fender American Vintage '59 Stratocaster! The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender’s best selling guitars (their early-’80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was “back” as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, they’ve completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept—restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more—based on actual vintage guitars we tracked down to make sure they had it right. They did the work, and it shows, because there’s pure tonal magic in each new American Vintage instrument.
Item Details
This American Vintage '59 Strat brings back to life the Strat that was available later in the year with the dark rosewood slab fretboard and 3 ply mint green pick guard with 10 holes. The faded three color sunburst is an absolute joy to take in with the eyes and the slim profile D shape neck is a pleasure to play in all positions. The American Vintage '59 Strat pickups have been wound to period correct specs and sound. Other stand out features include vintage-accurate bridge saddles and tuner spacing, a lightweight alder body, aged plastic knobs and Fender Deluxe vintage style tuners. This guitar comes with a new deluxe vintage brown hard shell case.
