Description
Old-school cool in Ice Blue.
a sleek, cool Ice Blue Metallic finish gives a particularly striking look to on one of Fender’s most enduring designs. With its unmistakable ‘50s styling and beautifully distinctive finish, this American Vintage '57 Stratocaster has all the visual appeal of a golden-era Strat, backed by the craftsmanship of Fender’s American Vintage series.
Built in 2005, this is a faithful nod to the 1957 iteration, capturing the familiar contours, vintage-inspired appointments and famous Stratocaster character. The Ice Blue Metallic finish adds a little extra personality, setting it apart from the more familiar vintage-inspired colour choices while retaining all the famous twang, shimmer and quack that shaped music for decades.
Condition wise, there is minor fret wear in the lower positions, alongside light tarnishing to the hardware. The pickguard is slightly warped in places (typical of the single play pick-guards) and the rear backplate is missing, although the original case candy is all included. There are also a few handling marks and signs of use across the instrument, although no significant dings or damage to report.
A great played example overall, this is a particularly attractive American Vintage Stratocaster with plenty of classic Fender appeal and a finish that really stands out.
