This 1998 Fender American Vintage ’57 Stratocaster has been gently owned and is in excellent condition! This model was available in reliced Aztec Gold back in 1998, but this one has a significantly more aged appearance. The textured finish suggests that the body and front/back of the headstock were treated with a heat gun, resulting in noticeable bubbling. Very aesthetically pleasing! Neck is straight as an arrow and frets show little to no wear. Plays and sounds fantastic! Tremolo arm and ashtray not included.The Fender American Vintage ’57 Stratocaster Electric Guitar meticulously re-creates a famous design. It’s true to all the original specs and detailing, including neck and headstock shapes, body contours – even the original hand-beveled pickup magnets. Comes fitted with American Vintage pickups, the original synchronized tremolo, nickel silver frets, and other vintage appointments. Maple fretboard. Includes gig bag.
