Fender Vintera 50s Mod Strat, daphne blue, made in Mexico 2022. The first generation of the Vintera series had two versions of the 50s style Strat, and this is the one that got the handy 'mod cons'. You get some 50s style stuff: spaghetti logo, maple board, one ply guard, three single coils... and you get some modern stuff: two point tremolo, satin finish neck, 9.5" radius board with big frets and the S1 switch on the volume knob to add the neck pickup into any position on the switch. They're cool little details, and the fact this still has that vintage swagger makes it a tasty combo. The blue and maple looks great too, it's a summery aesthetic. This delivers Strat-spank aplenty, with a nice balance of fatness and brightness. These are discontinued now, but this one is near new, so if you've been after one, here's your shot.
