For modern Fender® tone, Fender re-voiced the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups, kicking things up a bit by increasing the output. Crisp and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The Modern C-shaped neck has a 9.5-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets, for modern playing feel. A contemporary, two-point synchronized tremolo with vintage-style bent-steel saddles offers rock-solid performance and tuning stability. The S-1™ switch adds the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2, unlocking even more tonal variety. Other features include vintage-style locking tuning machines, vintage-style strap buttons and chrome hardware. Includes a deluxe gig bag.SpecsBody Material-AlderBody Finish-Gloss PolyesterBody Shape-Stratocaster®Neck Material-MapleNeck Finish-Satin Urethane Finish on Back, Gloss Urethane Finish on FrontNeck Shape-Modern CScale Length-25.5 (648 mm)Fingerboard Material-MapleFingerboard Radius-9.5 (241 mm)Number of Frets-21Fret Size-Medium JumboNut Material-Synthetic BoneNut Width-1.650 (42 mm)Position Inlays-Black DotTruss Rod-Vintage-StyleBridge Pickup-Vintage-Style '50s Single-Coil Hot Strat®Middle Pickup-Vintage-Style '50s Single-Coil Hot Strat®Neck Pickup-Vintage-Style '50s Single-Coil Hot Strat®Controls-Master Volume, Tone 1.

THE VINTERA SERIES
'50S STRATOCASTER
ALDER BODY
A classic Fender tone wood, alder’s sound is balanced with equal doses of lows, mids and highs.
“MODERN C” NECK PROFILE
The “Modern C”-shaped profile is designed for comfort and performance, while the smooth satin back finish makes it play even faster.
HOT ‘50S STRAT® PICKUPS
We redesigned this guitar’s pickups. They’re packed with the bell-like, highly articulate tone that made Fender famous-only hotter.
MODERN FINGERBOARD
Comfortable for chording and single-note playing alike, the 9.5”-radius fingerboard offers modern feel thanks to its medium-jumbo frets, while also making wide bends easier in the upper registers.
TWO-POINT SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO
An updated design, this two-point tremolo offers proper intonation, full adjustability and easy access to cool vibrato sounds.
S-1 SWITCH
The S-1 switch adds the neck pickup to positions one and two, accessing previously unavailable tones, or the power of all three pickups cranking simultaneously.
