Description
Recommended used items!
A Fender USA American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster has arrived as a recommended used item! It was manufactured in 2025.
This is a modified model, likely with the pickups replaced with Fender Custom Shop Texas Special x3s.
This guitar boasts an alder body, maple neck, maple fretboard, and a black color modification, giving it an irresistible bluesy look!

The American Vintage II series is a highly accurate reproduction of the groundbreaking electric guitars and basses that changed the course of music history. Featuring body shapes, necks, hardware configurations faithfully reflecting the original specifications, premium finishes, and meticulously crafted pickups voiced for each era, these instruments embody the essence of true Fender craftsmanship and tone.

When the Stratocaster debuted in 1954, with its uniquely alluring curves, sparkling sound, and groundbreaking tremolo bridge, the world was astonished by its unprecedented novelty. After numerous updates, by 1957 it had evolved into one of the most iconic guitars of the century.

The American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster features a smooth body contour and a V-shaped neck with a 7.25-inch radius maple fingerboard, faithfully recreating the tone and feel of the original model from 1957. It also incorporates premium features such as a synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, Fender Deluxe tuning machines, and a 1-ply pickguard, all faithfully reproducing the specifications of the time.
The original guitar features three Pure Vintage Stratocaster pickups, but as mentioned earlier, this is a modified model that has likely had its pickups replaced with Fender Custom Shop Texas Special x3s. You can enjoy the powerful midrange, clear treble, and tight bass!

Developed to celebrate Fender's iconic guitar shape, the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster is available in models with alder or ash bodies and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that develops a beautiful patina over time.
This particular instrument has an alder body.

American Vintage II is a series for players who love the tone and feel of vintage Fender, faithfully reproducing the guitars and basses that laid the foundation for Fender. It revives guitars and basses that have shaped musical history using modern technology.

We've just received a recommended used item! It's a 2025 model.
While there are some minor scratches, scuffs on the back of the body, paint chipping, and tarnishing on the parts, overall this guitar is in beautiful condition! None of these affect playability or cause any problems. We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use right away!
The pickups have been replaced with Fender Custom Shop Texas Special x3s, and the knobs have also been replaced with white ones. The original pickups and knobs are not included.
There is a crack in one of the screw holes on the back panel, but it does not currently affect or cause any problems with installation.

The frets are in good working order and have almost all of their life remaining. The nut is also in good working order.
The truss rod also functions normally and there are no issues with adjustment.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

The weight is 3.58kg. It strikes a perfect balance, making it easy to use while still producing a solid, focused sound.

Accessories include the original tweed hard case, keys, Certificate of Authenticity (laminated), tremolo arm, and bridge cover.
