Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster, Flame Maple Fingerboard, White Blonde Overview
The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster, Flame Maple Fingerboard, White Blonde is a loving nod to a golden-year Strat, built with period-correct style and a few player-friendly twists. An ash body wrapped in gloss nitro lets the guitar breathe and age with character, while a 1-ply parchment guard keeps the look authentically mid-century. The star of the show is the 3A flame maple neck and board: a 1957 “V” carve that feels quick thanks to a satin back, plus a 9.5" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and rock-solid intonation
Under the bonnet, a Custom Shop Fat ’50s set in the bridge and middle brings sparkling chime and clear attack, paired with a Fat ’60s neck for warm, rounded lead tones. The 5-way switch unlocks all the classic Strat positions, from scooped, glassy rhythms to singing solos that sit perfectly in a mix. A Pure Vintage synchronised trem with bent steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block delivers expressive wobble and lively resonance, while vintage-style tuners keep things tidy. It’s a vibrant, responsive Strat that feels alive in the hands and looks stunning under lights

Full Description
View Full DescriptionAuthentic white blonde vibe
The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster nails that late-fifties silhouette with an ash body and gloss nitro finish that looks fantastic straight out of the box, and that will wear in beautifully over time. The single-ply parchment guard, aged plastics and nickel/chrome hardware complete the period-correct look, while the body has that lively, airy acoustic ring you feel as much as hear. It’s a proper period-accurate aesthetic with the kind of presence that pops under stage lights without being flashy
Flame maple neck that invites play
A 3A flame maple neck and board aren’t just for show; they add snap and immediacy to your attack. The 1957 “V” carve sits snug in the hand, with a satin back that feels quick and broken-in on day one. A 9.5" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets make bends smooth and tidy right up the neck, so you can dig in for wide vibrato or keep things delicate for clean chord work. It’s a neck that rewards touch, responds to dynamics, and looks stunning doing it
Fat ’50s sparkle, ’60s warmth
The pickup recipe balances shimmer and body: Fat ’50s in the bridge and middle for bright chime and articulate bite, plus a Fat ’60s in the neck for rounder, singing leads. The 5-way switch covers all the classic Strat positions, from glassy in-betweens to focused bridge snap and a vocal neck tone that sits beautifully in a mix. Roll the volume back for clean sparkle or push an amp for edge and sustain; it stays clear, dynamic and musical
Pure vintage trem, real resonance
The Pure Vintage synchronised tremolo brings smooth travel and a lively feel thanks to bent steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block. A six-screw mount keeps the response snappy, while vintage single line tuners hold tune without adding weight. Add the bone nut and four-bolt plate and you’ve got a solid, gig-ready Strat that sets up beautifully, returns to pitch with confidence and translates right-hand nuance into that unmistakable Strat shimmer
