Description: Fender American Vintage II '73 Stratocaster Lake Placid Blue V12339 USED This guitar is in excellent condition. The tuners were upgraded to Kluson Revolution Locking Tuners, but this guitar has otherwise been kept as is (original set of fender tuners included). Original Hard case and case candy included. Plays and sounds great! Weight: 8.4 LBS 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, 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"-shape maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25" radius rosewood or maple fingerboard and vintage tall frets. The guitar is offered in three classic colors over ash: Aged Natural, Lake Placid Blue and Mocha, the latter being the first custom color ever to feature a black pickguard on a Strat®. Additional features include vintage-style "F" stamped tuners and a synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles and cold rolled steel block.The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.FeaturesAsh BodyGloss Polyurethane FinishPure Vintage '73 Single-Coil Strat® pickups"C"-Shaped Neck ProfilePure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with Bent Steel SaddlesUpgraded Kluson Revolution Tuners (original fender tuners included) BodyBody Material: AshBody Finish: Gloss PolyurethaneBody Shape: Stratocaster®NeckNeck Material: MapleNeck Construction: 3-BoltNeck Finish: Gloss PolyurethaneNeck Shape: 1973 "C"Scale Length: 25.5" (64.77 cm)Fingerboard Material: MapleFingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm)Number of Frets: 21Fret Size: Vintage TallNut Material: BoneNut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)Position Inlays: Black DotSide Dots: BlackTruss Rod: Bullet StyleTruss Rod Nut: Bullet StyleBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage '73 Single-Coil Strat®Middle Pickup: Pure Vintage '73 Single-Coil Strat®Neck Pickup: Pure Vintage '73 Single-Coil Strat®Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
