The Korena take
Fender's American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster in Black follows a 1957-oriented build with an ash body, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, and a one-piece maple bolt-on neck. The V-shaped neck meets a 7.25-inch-radius maple fingerboard, while three Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups run through a five-way selector, master volume, and two tone controls. A Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles and vintage-style tuners completes the period-focused layout. A vintage-style tweed case is included for storage and transport.
