A '57 legend returns
When you're talking iconic '57 axes, you're inevitably going to refer to the large-headstock Strats that populated the music world during that era. Fender brings back that great vibe with the American Vintage '57 Stratocaster^®, which includes the distinctive headstock design. You also get a 4-bolt neck and specially voiced single-coil pickups. This Strat^® will take you back!

Quality accessories included
The American Vintage '57 Stratocaster comes with a deluxe black hardshell case that boasts a plush interior. You also get a strap, a cable, and a 5-position pickup selector switch (should you require more tonal options than the period-correct 3-position selector installed in the American Vintage '57 Stratocaster allows).

Vintage-style tremolo
While there's no denying the fact that Leo Fender's guitar designs were an amazing blend of art and engineering, it was the erroneously named synchronized tremolo (it's actually a vibrato) that may well have been his most inspired bit of engineering. With it you could bend notes or even entire chords up or down without throwing the guitar out of tune. Even though Fender has continued to improve upon the tremolo, many players simply prefer the look and feel of the original. This American Vintage '57 Stratocaster includes a vintage-correct bridge.
