The Fender Vintera II ’50s Nocaster evades many common pitfalls of reissued guitars, starting with its historically accurate neck feel. Carved perfectly to a thick “U” profile, this maple neck provides a playability and a grip that’s spot on to the original model, making for an even more magical musical experience.

Done! Additionally, its classic 3-way selector lets you pour on the brilliance at the bridge, cloak your sound in buttery-smooth richness at the neck, or combine the two for the best of both worlds.
