The Fender American Original Series Stratocaster guitars, produced from 2018 to 2022, pay homage to the iconic instruments of the 1950s and 1960s while incorporating modern playability and reliability. Designed as replacement to the Fender American Vintage Series Stratocaster, this new range sought to capture the essence of the original Fender Stratocasters produced during these decades, the American Original Series offers vintage-style features with modern craftsmanship. Each guitar in the series is built to vintage-accurate specifications, ensuring that they capture the look, feel, and sound of the original '50s and '60s Stratocasters. With period-correct neck profiles, including "Soft V" and "C" shapes, players can experience the same feel and playability as the original instruments. Equipped with Fender Pure Vintage '59 or '65 single-coil pickups, these guitars deliver the classic Stratocaster tone that has defined countless records over the years. Many models in the American Original Series feature nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, just like the original vintage Stratocasters, allowing the wood to "breathe" and age naturally over time. With vintage-style hardware, including synchronized tremolo bridges, period-correct knobs and switches, and vintage-style tuning machines, the American Original Series offers an authentic vintage look and feel. Whether you're a vintage purist or a modern player looking for that classic Stratocaster tone, the Fender American Original Series Stratocaster guitars have something to offer.
