Details of the American Vintage '59 Stratocaster

The late '59 Stratocaster was an important step in the development of the guitar that will later on be known as the legendary '62 Strat. It was the year that Fender switched the thick one-piece maple necks for more slender D-profile necks with a thick rosewood fretboard, providing the Strat with a fuller, warmer sound. The dark position markers in the fretboard were made of clay: also known as clay dots. Also, it was the first appearance of the multi-layered mint-green pickguards with edge bevels and ten-hole mounting (instead of eight) to counter warping. Other features of the Fender American Vintage '59 include a lightweight alder body with thin nitrocellulose Flash lacquer in a faded three-colour Sunburst but also the vintage-accurate tremolo bridge with 'Pat.Pend.' stamped steel saddles, single-line Fender deluxe machine heads and much, much more.

American Vintage series: more accurate than ever before

Along with the American Standard series, Fender decided to give the 2012 American Vintage series a massive update. It has been expanded with new, iconic '50s and '60s models that have a minute vintage accuracy. To get to this point, the guitar giant tracked down and studied specs and details of numerous original vintage guitars. Fender even brushed off the tools of the period to make the result as authentic as possible. Every model has been fitted with new pickups, especially wound after the specifications and sound of the vintage reference models. There's a good reason that these new models represent Fender's famed, 60-year long history in music.
