Fender
Fender is an American company which was founded in 1946 by Leo Fender. The company is known for their solid body electric guitars and was the first to sell these guitars. Their first guitar was the Telecaster, which became very popular. This model was followed up with the equally popular Stratocaster and the Fender Bass. Throughout the decades they have designed more popular shapes which explains their current popularity quite well. Additionally, Fender prioritises quality. It is thus not surprising that their guitars are used by many famous guitarists, like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour.
The Vintera ‘50s Stratocaster
The Vintera ‘50s Stratocaster is part of Fender’s Vintera series. With this series Fender tries to combine their authentic models with modern building techniques. The guitar is based on the first and original Stratocaster, which came out in the 1950s. The guitar has a vintage appearance and vintage-inspired parts, like the neck profile and the tuners. The guitar has three Vintage-Style ‘50s single-coil pickups. These pickups can produce that beautiful sound the Stratocaster is known for. The guitar thus also has the versatility; like the original Stratocaster, the guitar sound great with different types of effects but also clean. The pickups can be adjusted with the five-way switch, the volume knob, and the two tone knobs. The body is made of alder, which makes the guitar sturdy but light. The guitar comes with its own soft bag. The Vintera ‘50s Stratocaster is thus the ideal opportunity to own a guitar just like the original Stratocaster!
