Relic’d alder body offers original-era feel and aesthetics

The Vintera Road Worn ‘60s Stratocaster features a balanced-sounding alder body — a mainstay on Fender bodies with a distinctive tone that’s at the center of some of rock ‘n’ roll’s most enduring classics. A relic’d nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives this solidbody electric guitar the look and feel of a well-loved 1960s original. A 3-ply mint green pickguard and vintage-style 6-point synchronized tremolo and tuning machines put the perfect finishing touches on this Strat, supplying you with original-era aesthetics, plus rock-solid performance and tuning stability.

Vintage-style single-coil pickups deliver hot-wound ‘60s Strat tone

If you appreciate classic Strat tone, you’ll love the Fender Vintera Road Worn ‘60s Stratocaster. Its hot-wound single-coil pickups are dead ringers for 1960s-era pups, but — as we quickly discovered here at Music Experience — they have enough output to spank the front end of a modern amplifier. These pickups boast enamel-coated wire and flat-top Alnico V magnets, achieving a glassy, bell-like sound with boatloads of clarity. What’s more, you get a 5-way switch that gives you more tonal options than a traditional 3-way switch.

Mid-‘60s C-shaped neck ensures easy playability

The Vintera Road Worn ‘60s Stratocaster is a treat to play, largely because of its mid-‘60s C-shaped neck profile. This is a pleasantly stout neck, and its increased mass yields an incredibly natural feel, as well as excellent sustain. Its 7.25-inch-radius pau ferro fingerboard is complete with 21 vintage-tall frets that feel incredible to play. This neck secures to the guitar’s alder body with a traditional 4-bolt plate and includes a synthetic bone nut.

What Fender Says...

The Vintera Road Worn® '60s Stratocaster recreates the look and feel of a well-loved original. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer – prized for its natural tonal qualities and distinct aging patterns, then hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in look, this Strat® delivers the bell-like tone and playing comfort you’d expect from a great vintage guitar. For modern Fender® tone we re-voiced the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups, kicking things up a bit by increasing the output for more girth and gain. Thick-sounding, yet articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The “Mid 60s C”-shaped neck has a 7.25”-radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-tall, six-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines offer original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate. Includes a deluxe gig bag.
