Highlighting key changes to the Stratocaster in the 1960s, the Fender American Original ‘60s Stratocaster features a round-laminated rosewood fretboard and mint green pickguard, as well as Pure Vintage ’65 pickups, a thick “’60s C” neck shape and vintage-correct hardware to round out the authentic vintage vibe, while the updated fingerboard radius adds a modern ease to fretwork.
About Fender American Original Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Picking up where the celebrated American Vintage Series left off, the Fender American Original Series features re-imagined, “best-of-the-decade” versions of some of the most legendary model years of the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Jazz and Precision basses, updated for modern playability.
