Replaces American Vintage '57 Stratocaster
​Replaced by American Original '50s Stratocaster
The first 46 units from the first production of this instrument will have a commemorative Special Edition 1st 46 neck plate. These neck plates commemorate the fact that Fender was founded in 1946, as well as the fact that Fender is releasing the most accurate and beautiful Fender reissue instruments ever from key historical years. The neck plate will serve as an indicator that these “1st 46” models were the first of their kind to be built, as well as add an element of collectability to these first run instruments. The serial numbers of the series and the 46 instruments are not sequential, and among the first 46, were a mix of colors. These units will be randomly distributed around the globe for Fender fans everywhere to have a chance to find one in their local stores.
A few prototype pieces from the NPI run were sold with special laser engraved “Series Prototype” neck plates and came with a letter of authenticity and all case candy. There is no special designation in SAP.

​FENDER SAYS
The American Vintage '59 Stratocaster presents two versions of that year's pivotal transitional model; one from early 1959 and one from later 1959. Both have the slim profile maple neck of that year, with the earlier version featuring a maple fingerboard, faded 3-color Sunburst finish and single-ply white pickguard with eight holes; the later version featuring a dark rosewood slab fingerboard and three-ply mint green pickguard with 10 holes and vintage-style edge bevels. Both also feature a lightweight alder body, aged plastic knobs and vintage-accurate pickups, bridge saddles, tuner spacing and more.
