Here for sale we have a Fender American Original 50’s electric guitar in 2-colour sunburst. Made in the USA in 2020 this guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of an Alder body, Maple neck with Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer and 21 fret Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe” tuning machines and Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with Bent Steel Saddles. A trio of Pure Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat are wired to 5-way pickup selector, Master Volume and Tone controls.
The Maple neck plays very well, with the Soft ‘V’ profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and promotes ergonomic hand positioning, feeling chunky and smooth whilst providing an articulate playing experience. The Gloss Maple fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and offers a tactile and durable playing surface. The 9.5" radius delivers a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending, further enhanced by the Vintage Tall frets. The Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo bridge offers excellent tuning stability and supports tremolo techniques whilst the Pure Vintage tuning machines keep tuning locked in. The smooth lines of the Strat body along with generous body contours are as comfortable and familiar as ever, ensuring that long gigs and practice sessions are a breeze.
The trio of Fender Pure Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat pickups installed in this instrument deliver classic Stratocaster tone. The bridge pickup provides bright and glistening trebles with plenty of spank, power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The middle pickup produces bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup has rounded creamer tones great for chordal phrasings or quick jazz style lines, whilst also handling higher gain settings masterfully, offering plenty of room for tonal scaping. It's easy to see why the Stratocaster has been a mainstay of the guitar world for almost 70 years.
