Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster Olympic White

Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster With Authentic Seventies Vibe!

The Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster brings the character of a defining Strat era into a finely crafted instrument for stage, studio and collection. With an ash body, bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Pure Vintage '73 single-coils and classic vintage hardware, it combines historically inspired construction with immediate playability and expressive Fender tone.

Stratocaster Design With CBS Aesthetic

This electric guitar follows the specifications of the early seventies and adopts typical features of the era: the large 70s-style headstock, two string trees, the bullet truss nut and the three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt system. That creates not only a visually distinctive look but also an instrument that conveys the historic Stratocaster character down to the smallest detail. The solid ash body delivers a clear, defined attack with tight articulation, crisp highs and a sustaining foundation that supports clean tones, crunchy riffs and expressive leads alike.

Vintage Playing Feel With Precise Response

The maple neck in a 1973 C profile sits comfortably in the hand and offers a familiar, direct playing feel. The rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius supports classic bends, chord work and rhythmic funk patterns with a smooth touch. Twenty-one vintage-tall frets give clear feedback to the fingers and can be fretted precisely without diluting the instrument's traditional character. The 25.5" scale length provides the typical Fender tension, clear string separation and a dynamic response to attack and technique.

Three Pure Vintage Single-Coils

The three Pure Vintage '73 single-coil Strat pickups are voiced for the sound of this model era. They deliver wiry highs, defined mids and the characteristic chiming Stratocaster tone, versatile across pop, rock, funk, fusion, blues and progressive contexts. The 5-way switch offers classic pickup combinations, from the punchy bridge sound through the hollow in-between positions to the warm neck tone. With a master volume and two tone controls you can shape the sound directly to your amp, pedals and playing style.

Vintage-Style Hardware

The American Vintage synchronized tremolo with six screws, bent steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block supports expressive vibrato effects and contributes to lively resonance. The Pure Vintage Fender F-Stamped tuners echo the historic look and ensure reliable tuning. Nickel/chrome hardware, a 3-ply pickguard, aged plastic parts and the included bridge cover round out the spec. The supplied vintage-style case protects the instrument in transit and visually matches the classic character of the series.
