For players who want the style and sound of Fender's golden era, we created the Vintera '50s Stratocaster. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade -- including period-accurate neck profile and hardware, along with re-voiced pickups -- this guitar has all of the chime and articulation that made the Stratocaster a legend.

For authentic, vintage-style tone we recreated the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups to sound more like the originals. Crystalline and bell-like, they have the crisp, articulate tone that put Fender on the musical map. The updated "Soft V"-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, six-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, 5-way pickup switching and the traditional Strat control layout. Includes deluxe gig bag.

This guitar exceeded my expectations. I've played/owned several MIM strats. And they have always been fairly nice sounding and playing. Not quite on the American level. However when I ordered this, I mainly wanted the soft V neck and "7.25 radius. I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as nice as it is. It came set up perfectly. And it's just amazing to play and look at. The sound is phenomenal. And the vintage neck is super comfortable. The gig bag is decent as well. Everything was better than expected and I would say is on par with American series nowdays. I would definitely recommend buying this. You can achieve super low action as well. Also, zZounds rocks. Their pay as you play makes instruments accessible to everybody.
