The Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster® delivers a faithful recreation of one of the most recognizable eras in Fender history. Built with period-correct design, materials, and tone, this model captures the look, feel, and sound that defined the early ’70s.

By 1973, Fender’s CBS-era features had become standard—seen on stages across rock, funk, fusion, and prog. This Strat reflects that moment with its large headstock, “bullet” truss rod, and three-bolt neck with Micro-Tilt™, all hallmarks of the era. The trio of Pure Vintage ’73 single-coil pickups delivers authentic chime, clarity, and punch, while the S-1 switch expands tonal versatility by adding the neck pickup to positions 1 and 2.

The comfortable “C”-shape maple neck, paired with a modern 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets, offers a smooth playing experience while staying true to vintage character. Finished with classic hardware including “F”-stamped tuners and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, this Strat is built for players who want true Fender tone with everyday playability.
