Fender American Original 60s Strat Olympic White

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Fender Stratocaster was first unveiled to the world in 1954 and by the '60s it had aged like a fine wine. This American Original 60s Strat in a beautiful Olympic White has been designed as the ultimate tribute to the Stratocaster of the 1960s. The vintage appearance is definitely present with the mint green pickguard, gloss nitrocellulose finish and original-era body radii, but every detail from the frets and wiring, down to the tuners and pickups have been recreated in meticulous period-accurate detail.

If you're looking for a mint condition 60s Stratocaster without spending insane money, this is the guitar for you!

Features We Love:

Nitrocellulose Finish

The guitar features a beautiful sounding alder body which has been finished in a tasteful Shell Pink using period-accurate gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Nitro lacquer is loved for its ability to let the wood breathe and also the fact that it wears in a loveably distinctive way. After years of playing your guitar will look and sound even more like a vintage classic.

Pickups and Circuitry

To create the period-accurate vintage tone, Fender have essentially recreated the vintage circuit verbatim, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, everything is as it was back in the '60s. The wax-potted Pure '65 single-coil Stratocaster pickups take things further (or back in time) by recreating the fibre bobbins and alnico 5 magnets used at the time, giving this guitar that signature tone that's been featured on countless records.

Period Accurate Hardware

Fender wanted this model to be just like buying a new Strat in the 1960s, that means it features the exact same spec of hardware. Including vintage-tall frets, a synchronized tremolo bridge and Pure Vintage Single Line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, each contributing their own key element to the guitar's fantastic feel and tone.

Pros:

• It's essentially a brand new 1960's Strat
• Classic tones, looks and feel
• Nitro finish will only look better with age
