A faithful recreation of the iconic '61 Strat, the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster LH RW Olympic White offers both the sound and feel of the early sixties. Built in Corona, California as part of the relaunched American Vintage II series, the electric guitar draws on historic dimensions, traditional components and classic color finishes to get as close as possible to its sixties counterparts. furthermore, Fender gives each American Vintage II series instrument a vintage-style Deluxe hardshell Case.

The neck construction of the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster LH RW Olympic White reflects the slab design introduced in the late 1950s, where the slim C-profile maple neck is made without skunk stripe and finished with a flat rosewood fingerboard. Here, the traditional 7.25-inch fretboard radius provides an authentic feel on all 21 frets in the vintage-tall format, while genuine clay Dot fretboard inlays provide the original look of the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster.

Staying true to the era's sonic specifications, three custom-wound Fender Pure Vintage '61 single coils provide the Stratocaster's multi-faceted tonal palette. Thus, the three single-coil pickups wound to traditional specifications provide everything from clear and direct bridge tones to warm, vocal sounds in the neck position, while the Blade Switch's intermediate 2 and 4 positions create shimmering pickup combinations. Of course, the wiring also remains classic and is composed of a common Volume knob and separate Tone knobs for the neck and midrange pickups.

Also part of the historically oriented Fender Pure Vintage line-up are the hardware parts of the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster. Accordingly, the six-bolt Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo follows the famous successful design of the fifties, while the six "Fender Deluxe" tun ers correspond to the design of original tuners from the sixties. Finishing off the Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster LH RW Olympic White is a three-ply pickguard and a tasteful nitrocellulose finish.
