American Vintage '59 Aztec Gold: features

This Stratocaster was modelled after the one from late 1959, a transitional model between the earlier one and the Strat of 1962. Its neck has a slender D profile, contrary to the thicker necks from before 1959. The fretboard of this model is made of maple. Its body is made of lightweight Alder, adorned with a marvellous nitrocellulose lacquer, Aztec Gold finish. Its tremolo bridge with 'Pat.Pend' saddles and the single line machine heads are also vintage-modelled. Three specially designed American Vintage single-coils produce the beloved Strat sound in all its glory. The 5-position pickup switch and the dual tone control allow for the essential tone variation.

American Vintage series: more accurate than ever before

The American Vintage series has been around for a while. The current series comprises new, iconic '50s and '60s models that have a minute vintage accuracy. To get to this point, the guitar giant tracked down and studied specs and details of numerous original vintage guitars. Fender even brushed off the tools of the period to make the result as authentic as possible. Every model has been fitted with new pickups, especially wound after the specifications and sound of the vintage reference models. It's for good reason that these models represent Fender's illustrious, 60-year-long musical history.
