Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (a few small finish scuffs)
Toting all of Fender's favorite appointments from the transitional era and blending in a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 5-way switching, the American Original series is a wonderful combination of vintage-correct and modern-professional specs!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Fender
A period of change, both for Fender and for pop culture as a whole, the 1960s saw the Strat mellow slightly as it grew up. The white pickguard was updated to mint green, and the fingerboard was switched from the original maple to rosewood, adding a smoother note to the Strat’s clear, articulate voice. The American Original ‘60s Stratocaster keeps these refinements intact while adding modern feel and pickup switching to the iconic instrument that helped birth guitar rock as we know it.
