The Fender American Original 50s Stratocaster follows the proven basic construction of the iconic electric guitar without neglecting the contemporary demands of today's players. Despite the classic design of the fifties, the higher Vintage Tall fret wires and a larger 9.5" fretboard radius meet expressive lead play. Three Pure Vintage '59 single coils create raw and treble-rich sounds from neck to bridge position, while the classic vintage finishes give the guitar classic its authentic look.
For classic chord work and controlled bends, the one-piece maple neck of the Fender American Original 50s Strat has a strong Soft V profile. 21 frets in the higher vintage tall format and a fretboard radius of 9.5" are especially designed for modern playing techniques and invite to classical lead playing on the entire fretboard.
For the authentic Fifties sound, Fender uses authentic ingredients from the era for the Pure Vintage '59 single coils: Formvar-insulated winding wire, Alnico V magnets and of course a single-core fabric-covered connecting cable. In terms of sound, all three pickups provide the brute fender span of the early models with the flexible sound setup between neck, middle and bridge.

Fender American Original '50s Stratocaster MN 2-Color SunburstThe quality is amazing, as well as the sound.
It looks great too. I am really happy with the purchase.
Delivery was also really quick.
So, guitar finally came and at first I was pleased with it. It was a lefthanded model. After playing it for a while a noticed that bone nut was cut too deep (G and D string) what made a string buzz over 12th fret and sometimes in open postions. I Did raise action a bit on the bridge but did not help a lot. Neck was straight. Not a big deal, but for pro instrument it should be set up perfectly. Since it passed 2 QC-s, at factory and the music store. At least so it says. Really? Besides, the strings are NOT aligned naturally on the nut because high E and low E are not perfectly lined up with the tuners. String spacing beetween oher string seems ok. As a result, low E string has a very little place to move around and it slips over the fretboard. So, there is a break angle at the nut where it should NOT be. It should be a rather straight in line with tuners. That alone effects tuning stability and playibility. Yes, it can be fixed but now you have to pay extra cash to a luthier for a brand new guitar that PASSED 2 QC-s. Well, at least everthyng else seems ok so far. No checkings on finish, frets are polished and rounded, sound is really good with that 60s hum. It will be great after the bone nut switch. And yes, one of the latches on G&G hardcase does NOT work properly. Made in USA. Oh well.....
