Fender introduces revamped Vintage Hot Rod series. Premium features include an ash body; maple neck with “D”-shaped profile, vintage-style heel-end truss rod adjustment, and satin back finish; and a compound-radius (7.25”-12”) maple fingerboard with 21 6105 frets, bone nut and gloss finish.
Singing tone comes from an American Vintage single-coil ’59 Stratocaster neck pickup and single-coil ’56 Stratocaster middle pickup, and a Texas Special™ single-coil Stratocaster bridge pickup.
Fender’s Vintage Hot Rod ’50s Stratocaster gives you the best Strat tone, style and performance of both eras — authentically vintage-style design touches straight from the 1950s and hot-rodded modern mods ideal for today’s players.
