Fender Vintera II 70s Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, 3-Colour Sunburst Overview
Boasting period-correct tone, feel and looks, the Fender Vintera II 70s Stratocaster delivers vintage Fender charm in a modern workhorse guitar.
Meet the Fender Vintera II 70s Stratocaster — a superb electric guitar that marries time-honoured Fender design with present-day innovation. Part of the new-for-2023 Vintera II range, this Strat delivers vintage tone, feel and looks without the vintage price point.
Designed for classic Fender fans who are looking for a reliable workhorse instrument, the Vintera II series effortlessly marries Fender’s timeless charm with modern improvements. As with any guitar built at Fender’s Ensenada factory, the Vintera II 70s Stratocaster benefits from exceptional build quality.
Classic Tonewoods
Constructed with a solid alder body and maple neck, the Fender Vintera II 70s Stratocaster delivers the crisp, detailed and punchy tone that’s classic Fender. The neck’s profile is sculpted to an authentic '70s “U” shape, making it a comfortable and dynamic playing platform for your fretting hand. Coupled with a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius and vintage-tall frets, this neck makes string bends and vibrato a breeze.
Vintage Voiced Pickups
A cornerstone of the Fender Vintera II series is the vintage-voiced pickups. Each model in the range, including the 70s Stratocaster, is equipped with era-correct pickups. They’re based on player-favourite single-coils and humbuckers from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The result is truly vintage-accurate tone that takes you right back in time to Fender’s Golden Era.
Robust Hardware
The vintage-style synchronized tremolo offers a tactile responsiveness that encourages expressive pitch effects, from subtle Hank Marvin-style warbles to wild Jeff Beck-style bends. The Vintera II 70s Stratocaster also features “F”-stamped tuning machines, presenting both a nod to vintage aesthetics and reliable tuning stability.
