Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Combining vintage aesthetics with hot-rodded electronics, the Fender Vintera Road Worn '50s Stratocaster features an alder body finished in a distressed Surf Green Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer paired with a 1-ply white pickguard. Weighing 6 lbs 14 oz, its maple neck is carved to a Thick Soft "V" profile with a Road Worn nitrocellulose finish, carrying a period-correct 7.25" radius maple fingerboard, 21 vintage tall frets, black dot inlays, and a 1.650" synthetic bone nut across a 25.5" scale length. Tone is driven by a trio of Vintage-Style '50s Single-Coil Hot Strat pickups managed via a 5-position blade switch, master volume, Tone 1 (neck/middle), and Tone 2 (bridge). Outfitted with aged nickel/chrome hardware, appointments include a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, and aged white plastic controls, complete with a hardshell case.

From Fender

The Vintera Road Worn® '50s Stratocaster recreates the look and feel of a well-loved original.

Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer - prized for its natural tonal qualities and distinct aging patterns, then hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in look, this Strat® delivers the bell-like tone and playing comfort you'd expect from a great vintage guitar.

For modern Fender® tone we re-voiced the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups, kicking things up a bit by increasing the output. Crisp and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The updated Thick Soft "V"-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, six-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, 5-way pickup switching and the traditional Strat® control layout. Includes deluxe gig bag.
