American Vintage '56 Stratocaster®

Modèle : 0111502801

La série American Vintage présente de toutes nouvelles déclinaisons de modèles originaux, qui viennent redonner vie à l'histoire et à l'héritage de Fender d'une manière authentique. Dotés de caractéristiques clés et de spécificités techniques incontournables, depuis les années 50 jusqu'au milieu des années 60, les nouveaux instruments de la série American Vintage s'ancrent profondément dans les racines de Fender. En perpétuant adroitement son inébranlable volonté de créer des guitares américaines novatrices, la marque Fender démontre clairement qu'en plus de savoir où elle va, elle n'oublie pas d'où elle vient.

La série American Vintage a pendant longtemps procuré à Fender ses meilleures ventes de guitares. Sa commercialisation, au début des années 80, était en fait l'un des signes avant-coureurs du retour fracassant de Fender, tandis que s'achevait le règne de CBS. Aujourd'hui, c'est non sans audace que Fender repart de zéro pour présenter une série American Vintage originale comportant de nouvelles caractéristiques et spécificités, ainsi que le plus haut niveau de précision vintage jamais atteint. Au lieu de purement et simplement remplacer nos anciens modèles, nous avons repensé le concept de la réédition vintage de A à Z, en restaurant les outils originaux, en élaborant de nouveaux micros, en retravaillant les couleurs vintage, et plus encore. Pour ne rien laisser au hasard, cette nouvelle aspiration est basée sur d'authentiques guitares vintage. Le contrat a été rempli, et pour preuve : chaque instrument American Vintage délivre une sonorité tout bonnement magique.

L'American Vintage ’56 Stratocaster vous replonge au cœur de l'année 1956, date à laquelle ce modèle venait de sortir et où est apparu le manche sans doute le plus récompensé et le plus plébiscité jamais fixé à l'instrument : un manche une pièce épais en érable, avec une légère forme de « V », pourvu de bords arrondis et confortables. Un tel souci d'authenticité se répercute même sur la plaque de protection blanche (un pli) à huit trous, le corps en aulne ultra léger (en frêne pour le modèle White Blonde) aux contours prononcés, ainsi que sur les micros vintage, les pontets de chevalet, l'espacement des mécaniques, dans la plus pure tradition de l'époque.

This guitar is not a trip through time, it is past coming back to your present hands. If you want to experience a Strat as it was you should give this new old stock a chance, will be your chance too

I've owned One Since 1980

I purchased my Red Stratocaster 1956 Vintage series in 1980 and have loved and played it ever since.
It had fantastic tone and playability when it was new and thirty three years later it sounds and plays even better (like a fine wine).
The only thing I changed was the pickup selector, from a 3 way to a 5 way (which was supplied).
If only Fender could bottle the essence that only age brings.

One of the very best NEW guitars I have ever purchased other than CUSTOM MADE by CUSTOM Lutherier.
I love playing this guitar and get almost every tone I need in the studio from it. I always make sure she is with me for GIGS and studio work
