Designed to capture the feel of the earliest Fender solidbody guitars, the Fender Vintera ’50s Stratocaster oozes the vibe of a classic Strat without the price tag. Staying true to the originals, the vintage-style frets, single-ply white pickguard, and maple neck give you the look and feel of a real ’50s Strat. When you plug this one in, you’ll hear Tim Shaw–designed ’50s pickups that are mellow without too much bite. Trust us, we love these ’50s pickups , and we bet you will too. If you want a vintage-correct Strat at a price that won’t force you to take out a second mortgage, the Fender Vintera ’50s Stratocaster is the one for you.
Very comfortable “V” neck
The Fender Vintera ’50s Stratocaster has the classic ’50s soft V-shaped neck profile that feels incredible in your hand. This Strat’s take on the “V” profile is softer and more similar to a U-profile neck. The 7.25″-radius maple fingerboard is complete with vintage-styled frets that feel incredible to play. This neck secures to the alder body with the traditional 4-bolt plate. This neck is such a complete re-creation of a classic Fender neck that it has a vintage-correct tint that makes it look amazing onstage or on your wall.
Classic electronics with modern switching
This Strat comes loaded with Tim Shaw–designed ’50s pickups that use period-correct Formvar wire and staggered Alnico VI magnets. You’ll notice that these pickups have that killer Strat tone that sounds amazing whether it’s running at 10, 3, clean, or dirty. The best thing about this Strat is that it comes with a 5-way switch that gives you more tonal options than the traditional 3-way switch.
