The Fender American Original ‘50s Stratocaster in 2-Tone Sunburst is a USA-made solidbody electric guitar designed to recreate the specifications and feel of late-1950s Stratocaster models. It features an alder body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, paired with a one-piece maple neck shaped to a period-correct soft “V” profile. The guitar uses a 25.5-inch scale length and a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius with 21 vintage-style frets, combining traditional styling with slightly more modern playability compared to original 1950s instruments.

The electronics consist of a trio of Fender Pure Vintage ‘59 single-coil pickups, wired through a master volume, two tone controls, and a five-way selector switch. This setup provides the characteristic Stratocaster tonal range, including clear, glassy highs, scooped midrange response, and the distinctive in-between pickup positions. The pickups are designed to replicate late-1950s voicing, with a focus on articulation and dynamic sensitivity across clean and driven tones.

Hardware includes a vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo bridge, along with period-correct bent steel saddles and vintage-style tuning machines. The overall construction emphasises historical accuracy in materials and design while maintaining consistent modern manufacturing standards, resulting in an instrument that reflects classic Stratocaster design with reliable playability and stability.
