Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster Reissue Electric Guitar with Vintage Tweed Case
The 1957 Fender Stratocaster was one of Fender's greatest instruments from the early rock n' roll era. By 1957 Fender had refined the Stratocaster with its most desireable sound and features. The Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster® Reissue faithfully recreates this historic instrument in a solid body electric guitar that you will be proud to own. Everything Fender put into the original is here in the Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster Reissue: "V" Shape maple neck with 21 vintage style frets in a maple fingerboardnitrocelluose finish for neck and bodyThree American Vintage Strat Single Coil Pickups with beveled magnetsVintage Style 3-position blade selector switchChrome hardwareAmerican Vintage Synchonized TremoloComfort Contour Body in ash (with the surf green finish) or alder (with the sunburst or black finish)Vintage Tweed Case"Ash Tray" bridge coverThe vintage pickup selector had position 1 for the bridge pickup, 2 for the middle pickup, and 3 for the neck pickup only. Players would put the selector between the stops to get neck-middle and bridge-middle pickup combinations. Fender thoughtfully includes a 5-position switch update kit in your '57 Strat Reissue. The "V" shaped neck is a joy to play. Very similar to the neck on Martin guitars, this is the choice of players like Eric Clapton. Everything in the original specifications is here. Imagine opening the Vintage Tweed Hardshell Case and finding an untouched 1957 Fender Stratocaster ready for your command. Sam Ash Direct is ready to send one to you today, just call or click.
