Three Fender Pure Vintage ’73 single-coil pickups and the traditional passive electronics elicit authentic vintage sounds from the guitar amplifier, which are right at home in almost any genre of popular music. Naturally, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster RW Olympic White with historically accurate fittings in the form of a synchronised tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block and precise Pure Vintage “F Stamped” tuners.

The neck is historically correctly attached to the body using three screws and a ‘Micro-Tilt’ mechanism.
Stratocaster in authentic 1970s style
In designing the American Vintage II ’73 Strat, Fender naturally adheres closely to the specifications of the eventful CBS era. Accordingly, the maple neck features not only the obligatory ‘Large Headstock’ with its striking Fender logo, but also the practical ‘Bullet Nut’ for adjusting the truss rod. Naturally, three screws and the ‘Micro-Tilt’ mechanism for adjusting the neck angle are used to attach the neck to the ergonomically designed ash body. The “1973 C” neck profile, with a 42 mm nut width and a 7.25” fingerboard radius, also promises extremely comfortable playability across the entire length of the 21-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Three Pure Vintage '73 single-coil pickups and the tried-and-tested Stratocaster circuitry promise a wide range of vintage tones for almost any musical genre.
Three Pure Vintage ’73 single-coil pickups for a wide range of sounds
Fender has chosen three Pure Vintage ’73 single-coil pickups for the American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster. The single-coil pickups, wound to historical specifications, feature staggered poleand, when plugged into a guitar amplifier, deliver a wide range of authentic vintage tones with that characteristic ‘spank’, making the Strat a versatile all-rounder for soulful clean tones and searing overdrive. In addition to the 5-way pickup selector switch and the master volume control, the Strat features a shared tone control for the neck and middle pickups and a dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup.
Authentic vintage-style tuners with an embossed Fender ‘F’ logo keep the American Vintage II ’73 Strat stable and in the correct tuning.
Reliable Strat hardware
Last but not least, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster RW Olympic White with the typical components of the 1970s. The bridge is the classic American Vintage Synchronised Tremolo, which not only impresses with its silky-smooth action but also enhances the guitar’s brilliant and lively tone thanks to its cold-rolled steel block. Individually adjustable saddles made from bent sheet steel also guarantee precise adjustment of intonation and string action. Behind the bone nut, Fender Pure Vintage ‘F Stamped’ vintage-style tuners ensure the American Vintage II ’73 Stratocaster stays precisely in tune.
