Classic Late 60s Fender Tone

Three vintage style late 60s single coil pickups deliver bell like clarity and versatile response. These pickups capture the expressive, wide ranging tones that defined the Stratocaster during this transformative era, making them ideal for everything from shimmering cleans to driven blues and rock tones.
Authentic Neck Feel with Iconic Styling
The maple neck features a comfortable late 60s C shaped profile that feels instantly familiar in the hand. This shape offers a smooth, natural playing experience across the entire neck, supporting both rhythm and lead work with ease.
Available with either a maple or rosewood fingerboard, the 7.25 inch radius provides traditional vintage comfort, while vintage tall frets add extra height for confident bends and expressive vibrato. The period correct large headstock completes the unmistakable late 60s aesthetic.
Period Correct Hardware and Expressive Vibrato
A vintage style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers classic Strat shimmer and smooth pitch control. Fully adjustable and easy to use, it allows players to explore expressive vibrato while maintaining reliable intonation.
Vintage style tuning machines enhance the authentic appearance while offering a refined gear ratio for improved tuning stability during extended playing sessions.
