{"product_id":"fender-american-vintage-ii-1957-stratocaster","title":"Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1957 Stratocaster is the maple-neck Strat at its most settled, three years after launch, and this one is built to that spec. Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer over alder or ash depending on the finish (the 2-Color Sunburst is alder, the Vintage Blonde ash), a 1-ply parchment pickguard and three Pure Vintage '57 single-coils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is a one-piece maple '57 \"V\" with a 7.25\" radius and vintage tall frets. The V shape sits well in the palm for thumb-over playing, and the round radius suits chords. Very wide bends may want the action set slightly higher. The tremolo is the vintage synchronized unit with bent steel saddles and a screw-in arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster uses the same pickups on a flatter compound-radius neck with stainless frets. For the early '60s version with a rosewood board, see the 1961 Stratocaster. Offered in Vintage Blonde, 2-Color Sunburst and Black, with left-handed Vintage Blonde and 2-Color Sunburst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Ash or Alder (by finish)\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Parchment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: 1957 \"V\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage '57 Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Pickup: Pure Vintage '57 Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Pure Vintage '57 Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SSS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
