- Hey everyone, Vanessa Wheeler here for Fender.
I'm really excited to walk you through
the Vintera Road Worn Stratocaster models,
the '50s Stratocaster and the '60s Stratocaster.
The Vintera line was introduced in 2019
and these are new offerings with some really cool features
that give them a real authentic vintage vibe.
They feel really nice and they look fantastic.
For the playing, that was this '50s Stratocaster
into a few Fender pedals
and then going into a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb.
Let's start off with some clean tones
with a touch of reverb from the amp.

Here's a rundown of the key features.
Has a nitrocellulose lacquer finish
which is hand distressed
and gives it this great broken-in feel.
This color is Surf Green but it also comes in Fiesta Red.
Three single-coil Stratocaster pickups voiced to sound
more like the originals using formvar wire
and individually beveled Alnico 5 magnets.
It has a vintage-style six point synchronized tremolo,
standard strat controls, master volume,
tone one for neck and middle, and tone two for bridge.
It has an updated thick soft V-shaped neck
with seven and a quarter radius,
21 vintage-style frets, and vintage-style tuning machines.
All right, let's add some effects
and hear how it gets along with some pedals.

Switching over to the '60s Stratocaster,
it has the same nitro lacquer, which is hand distressed.
This color is a beautiful Firemist Gold,
and it's also available in Lake Placid Blue.
We recreated the trio of calibrated single-coil
Stratocaster pickups to sound more like the originals
for this one as well,
using enamel-coated wire and Alnico 5 magnets.
The result is a crisp, articulate tone.
It has a vintage-style six point synchronized tremolo,
same control setup,
and a Mid '60s C-shaped neck
with a seven and a quarter radius fingerboard
and 21 vintage-tall frets.

And there's a look at
the Vintera Road Worn Stratocaster models.
Again, a really nice, authentic vintage look
with a great broken-in feel.
Each strat has its own character
so whether you're a fan of the '50s or the '60s strats,
either one will make you feel right at home.
