The Fender® American Vintage II series presents remarkably accurate interpretations of the revolutionary designs that changed the course of music history. Built with period-correct bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

By 1973, now-classic CBS design cues had become standard specification and were widely used by rock, funk, fusion and progressive players around the world. Weekly late-night music television shows such as Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, In Concert and The Midnight Special gave Fender instruments more exposure than ever, further cementing the Stratocaster's status as a pop-culture phenomenon.

The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders. Designed for players with a deep appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel, they are built to a very high standard down to the last screw. These are Fender electric instruments in their purest form.
