This Fender American Vintage II FSR 1961 Stratocaster in Fiesta Red takes a historically accurate reissue and makes it even more special. Built as an independent dealer exclusive, it stays true to the vintage-inspired DNA of the American Vintage II series while adding premium upgrades: a stunning AAA flamed maple satin-finished neck and a set of Custom Shop Fat ‘60s pickups for enhanced resonance, playability, and tone.

With its period-correct alder body, slab rosewood fingerboard, and vintage-style hardware, this Stratocaster channels the look, feel, and vibe of an early-’60s original — while offering modern players more power and nuance thanks to its custom electronics and upgraded neck.
