The Fender Vintera II 60s Strat. Hit or Miss?

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2023
- I review the new Fender Vintera II 60s Stratocaster. I discuss it's features and merits, and provide an extensive playing demo, going through all the pickup positions. I talk about the quality of the fit and finish, the fretwork, setup, and whether I believe this new version is an upgrade and worth the additional cost over the old Vintera Stratocaster.

I have this one in Lake Placid Blue and it's simply incredible. Plays like a dream and doesn't look bad either! Got lucky and scored a demo model in perfect condition for $800.
Most choking occurs on the treble strings not bass so never understood why the bass is set higher and treble strings lower unless it is to compensate for oscillation of heavier strings.
Sounds like a hit.
Glad to see you review this, I think some players have been conditioned to think a 7.25 radius is not good, you definitely proved otherwise and I think the guys at Fender are pretty smart and know what they’re doing.
Doesn’t matter what you play it sounds good Leonard
I think you might have just sold me on one of these! Great review and even better playing.
too bad about the shiny headstock.
I got the same one, spent some extra time setting it up to get the action as low as possible and it works well without fretting out. Between setting the neck relief just right and balancing the bridge float and saddle heights, you can get it pretty low before the bends choke out. Very impressive feeling neck and solid build quality.
Great playing! I've been on the lookout for a Rosewood board Strat - been eyeing the American Pro II for a while, they are dropping in price here in HK since the launch of the Ultra series (I've seen a few people mention the Ultra noiseless pick-ups are a bit 'thin' altho the one I tried sounded pretty nice). I have a maple board MIM that was made for Roland and it's great - will check the Vintera II out locally. Fralin pick-ups look interesting - will investigate! And, of course, with the off-white a tortoise shell scratch plate essential 😀
I have this exact model in Olympic White being delivered on Monday! I tested it out at Guitar Center last week and loved it so was happy to see your review as well. That was some sweet BB King phrasing there sir. I normally play with 10's also but finding I can also use the 9's so I'll see how that goes. Excellent demo and playing. Thanks!
After reviewing a few lack lustre reviews i am glad i stumbled across yours, i could hear the guitar properly and love the playing and delivery.Cheers mate 👌
Thank you for a wonderful video of this guitar, and the explanation of its features. Especially concerning the neck radius. Great playing and pickup selection samples.
I just bought a sunburst one. Can’t wait to get it!
Fantastic video Leonard, lovely playing and great informed review
Renee and I both liked this vintage Strat demo! Thx!!!
Well presented and very insightful video cheers mate
Hi! What a great review. I really could hear the sound of the guitar.
Another objective useful review.
Great playing and a nice review!
I have just purchased the Stratocaster player series with pau ferro it looked kind of dried out and then put some lemon oil on to it and looks a lot better with more depth to it.
