The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! 

At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. 

This process takes over an hour for each instrument – from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without care.

The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate body, neck and hardware, premium finish and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, this instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

During the late ’50s and early ’60s, the popularity of Fender musical instruments flourished, and although the Fender assortment had expanded to include many great new instruments, the Stratocaster reigned supreme. By 1961, the Stratocaster had taken on a more refined aesthetic, with a 3-Color Sunburst reformulated with a more vibrant red and bolder black edge, topped with a 3-ply pickguard accenting the Strat’s signature curves.

Featuring a premium Alder body, a trio of Pure Vintage 1961 Stratocaster pickups and a medium C shaped Maple neck mated with a 7.25″ radius slab Rosewood fretboard, the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.

Additional appointments include a vintage accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and 3-ply pickguard.

Comes with the hardshell case pictured. 

This is a used guitar and does show some signs of slight use, but has been fully tested and functions as expected. Please take a moment to review our pictures, as they accurately portray the true condition of this guitar.
