The Fender Limited American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster brings the classic 1961 Strat tone and feel into the modern era with unparalleled authenticity. Available at Sky Music Australia, this solidbody guitar combines vintage aesthetics with modern reliability. Its alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard are dressed in a sleek Black gloss finish, while gold hardware and Fender Custom Shop Fat ’60s single-coil pickups deliver a true vintage sound.

Built with a 1961 C-shape neck profile and 21 vintage-style frets, this Strat feels familiar in the hands of players seeking classic Strat maneuverability. The synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles and the 5-position pickup switch with dual tone and single volume controls give you full access to the rich, expressive palette of Stratocaster tones. Every detail, from the nitrocellulose finish to the pure vintage tuners, is carefully crafted to emulate the original 1961 Stratocaster experience.
