Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Lake Placid Blue Reviews
After the heyday of early-’60s surf rock, Fender and several guitarists were on a quest to uncover the perfect Strat sound. Everything from the classic Alnico III single-coil pickup down to the gloss finish was manipulated with the goal of distilling Stratocaster tone like no other. With the American Vintage II Strat, Fender has now brought back the quintessential 1973 model with unparalleled authenticity. Built with ash and maple tonewoods and featuring an exclusive trio of single-coil Strat pickups, the ’73 Strat is a perfect emulation of a beloved axe classic. Considering it retains the same “C” neck profile and familiar fretboard access, holding an American Vintage II guitar feels akin to wielding an instrument rife with legendary 20th-century tone.

Exceeded My Expectations
This came out of the case and is now my favorite guitar to pick up every day! The color is outstanding, the finish is excellent, the sound is great and the feel of this neck and fretboard is better than I expected. I was a little worried about getting used to the 7.25 radius, but, it's a comfortable fit and extremely playable.Best guitar I have purchased in years, by far. Thanks to Chad for making this purchase happen, appreciate the support.
