​​FENDER SAYS
As the first release from Fenders “10 for ’15” campaign, the American Vintage ’70s Hardtail Strat is definitely a great way to kick off the collection! The mid ’70s saw the widespread popularity of the non-tremolo—or “hardtail”—Stratocaster, so we dedicated the true look and vibe of the Limited Edition American Vintage ’70s Hardtail Stratocaster to that era.
