Fender Stratocaster
American Vintage ’61

Smooth, Sparkly, and Built to Sing
The Fender American Vintage 1961 Reissue Stratocaster brings the soul of early-’60s Strat tone into the modern studio, with its clear, bell-like highs, responsive midrange, and silky-smooth playability. At Rupert Street Recording, it’s a favorite for blues, funk, surf, indie, and classic rock—any sound that benefits from clarity and feel.
Inspired by the golden era of Strat recordings, this reissue channels the tone of legends like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and John Frusciante, offering that unmistakable single-coil shimmer and vintage vibe that still rules today.
