Here for sale we have a Fender Vintera '50s Stratocaster in Sonic Blue finish. Made in Mexico in 2021, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret Maple fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with Nickel/Chrome hardware including a 6-point vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo bridge and Fender vintage-style tuning machines. The pickups installed are a trio of Fender Vintage-Style '50s Strat single-coils, wired to a 5 way blade switch, master volume, neck/middle tone and bridge tone controls.
The maple neck plays very well, with a Soft 'V' profile that sits comfortably in the hand and provides a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience. The 7.25" fingerboard radius continues this theme, and when paired with the vintage size frets completes an authentic '50s specification that captures the character and vibe of those early Stratocasters for the modern player. The classic Stratocaster body contours feel as comfortable as ever, with the dual cutaways providing excellent access to the upper frets.
The trio of Vintage-Style '50s Strat pickups in this guitar are re-voiced to provide all of the chime and articulation that made the Stratocaster a legendary instrument. Crystalline and bell-like, the pickups provide a crisp and clear tone with plenty of the spank that you would expect from a Strat. Understated lows give way to a smooth mid range and singing high frequencies that will cut through any mix. The traditional Stratocaster control layout is as functional as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound without being intrusive.
