This guitar is in on trade and it is in very nice shape. it is clean, cosmetically and it is is fully functioning. The neck is straight, the original frets are still crowned, and the truss rod is functioning properly. Included with the guitar is the original hardshell case.
Now called the American Original Series, the American Vintage Series served Fender Player's quite well over the years. If you want a Period Correct Guitar but don't want to pay Custom Shop prices, then this is the model for you! Feels and sounds like an authentic 59 Strat minus all the fret wear and settling that happens over the decades.
American Vintage instruments featured specially voiced pickups meticulously researched and crafted to reproduce the authentic design, voice and performance of specific instruments from individual model years in the 1950, ’60s and ’70s. Their superior sound and style is one of the defining hallmarks of the American Vintage series. With DC Resistance measuring in at: Neck - 5.92k, Middle: 5.74k, Bridge: 5.93k. The pickups are tied to a 5 way switch, master volume, and 2 tone controls.
A D shaped neck profile is carved into a piece of Maple that has been topped with a nice Rosewood Fingerboard. The fretboard is carved to a 7.25" radius and 21 frets using Vintage Fretwire are installed. 25.5" Scale length and 1.650" Nut Width give you that classic Strat feel: lively, vibrant, taut.
Nobody treats used guitars like we do at The Music Gallery! All trade in's go through an inspection, cleaning, restring and setup before being put out on sale. We even put guitars with bad frets through our Plek machine if need be. If this service peaks your interest learn more here or give us a call!
