Fender / Fender American Vintage 1957 Stratocaster / 2010 / Surf Green / Guitar For Sale
We’ve had a few of the American Vintage series guitars from Fender over the last couple of years, and have always found them to be great instruments with a really great vintage vibe. This here surf green ‘57 Strat from 2010 is, thankfully, no exception.
This example looks great in its Surf Green finish (arguably the best colour for a strat?), and is all original bar a replacement loom (originals in case) and a refret. It plays great, sounds great, and is a one stop shop to killer affordable vintage strat tones.
Here’s the full details and spec from Fender:
