Pure vintage single-line'Fender deluxe' tuners. The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate 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, the now-classic CBS design cues had become standard spec and were widely used by rock, funk, fusion, and prog players around the world. Weekly late-night music television shows like Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, in concert, and Midnight Special provided more exposure than ever for Fender instruments, further cementing the Stratocaster's dominance as a pop culture phenomenon. The American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster exudes the spirit of the era and is outfitted with a trio of Pure Vintage'73 staggered pole pickups, a large headstock with dual string trees, a convenient'Bullet' style truss rod nut, and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism. The'C'-shaped maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25-inch radius rosewood or maple fingerboard and vintage tall frets. The guitar is offered in a classic Aged Natural color. Additional features include vintage-style'F' stamped tuners and a synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles and cold rolled steel block.

Vintage Fender Tone and Feel.

These are Fender electrics in their purest form - Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

Ash is a warm-toned wood with clear, bright highs, defined midrange, focused lows, and a beautiful grain pattern. 7.25-Inch Radius Fingerboards in Round-Laminated Rosewood. The 7.25-inch radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

Vintage Accurate 1973'C'-Shape. In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously.
