The historically wound single coils come with staggered pole pieces and deliver a wide range of authentic vintage tones at the guitar amp with the typical spank, making the Strat a versatile all-rounder for soulful cleans and scorching Overdrive. In addition to the 5-way pickup switch and the master volume pot, the Strat has a common tone control for the neck and middle pickups and a separate tone pot for the bridge pickup.

Reliable Strat hardware

Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster MN Mocha
The guitar is superiority, wonderful !!! Just like the good old days... Thank you 7ender... Thank you Music Store... Fast, totally reliable company !!! And the packaging was like a fortress !!!
it is really beautiful guitar. 73 is not popular among Fender vintage but surely good choice for lover of 70 hard rock. There was red spots on the neck, under the top coating. That was minus in cratmanship. The fender case was really awesome and adds extra value for a guitar. Worth few hundreds euro at least.
