Period-correct Strat with Custom Shop Pickups
If you're on the hunt for the feel and tone of a vintage Strat, but without the vintage price tag, look no further than the Fender Limited-Edition Vintera '70s Stratocaster Hardtail. With its period-correct '70s "C"-shape neck profile, 7.25-inch fretboard radius, and vintage fret wire, this limited-edition Strat feels like an original. And for eminent tone, the Limited-Edition Vintera '70s Stratocaster Hardtail is loaded with a trio of Custom Shop '69 single-coil pickups. Exclusive to Sweetwater, the Fender Limited-Edition Vintera '70s Stratocaster is sure to appeal to any fan of classic Fender guitars.
Pickups born in the summer of love
Normally only found in Fender's premium Custom Shop guitars, the Custom Shop '69 single-coil pickups in the Limited-Edition Vintera '70s Stratocaster Hardtail define the tone of an era. For a short period in the late '60s, Fender used height-staggered Alnico V magnets and a special grey bobbin that produced clear, transparent highs and thumping lows. Clean tones are as vibrant and glassy as you could ask for. And these pickups offer plenty of harmonic content to turn your fuzz and vibe pedals into a psychedelic sonic experience.
Hardtail bridge: easy setup and exceptional tuning stability
If you don't favor using the tremolo arm on your Strats, you'll appreciate the hardtail bridge on this Limited-Edition Vintera '70s Stratocaster. This 6-saddle bridge with bent saddles and period-correct "F"-stamping offers precise intonation and impressive sustain, while helping you tune up faster than you would be able to with a tremolo-equipped Strat.
