10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster, Olympic White Overview

View this description in German

The Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster is a recreation of guitar from Fender's golden age. A genuine '61 Stratocaster, just as it was back then, can be yours in a brand-new form, with all the convenience of ultra-high quality, modern Fender construction. That means you'll get the sweet, bell-like chimes of three Pure Vintage '61 voiced pickups, but without any of the irritating hum from older models!


Together with its set of vintage tuners and synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, the American Vintage II offers an exact replica playing experience, with plenty of sustain, resonance and character. Joined by a bone nut and slab style rosewood fretboard, the playability is supremely fluid and seamless, with every note ringing clear and true. Complete with a brown vintage-style hard case, your prized '61 Strat will be fully protected from the moment you pick it up.

The pristine American Vintage series

Old but new. The American Vintage II series seeks to recreate classic Fender instruments with unerring detail, with faithful attention poured over every component - even down to the last screw!

Made in the Fender USA guitarworks, you're guaranteed outstanding quality on every model. And with each detail accurately recreating the year the guitar is from, it's almost as if you're buying an instrument from the past!

A completely authentic playability

We can reel off lists of components all day to convince you that the '61 Strat is accurate, but nothing compares to the actual feel of a guitar. And once you've held the classic medium "C" shaped neck on this Strat, you'll be totally convinced. It's eminently comfortable and presents a stunning vintage vibe thanks to its gloss nitro lacquer.

That's joined by a slab rosewood fretboard which serves up a chunky, retro feel. It's curved in a 7.25" radius for true retro playability, in addition to hosting 21 vintage tall sized frets for a precise action over the scales.

Highly accurate '61 sounds

Step back into the sixties. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '61 Single Coil Strat pickups, the American Vintage II produces a stunningly accurate tone. Built using period materials and configured to '60s standards, they're not only bright, but also full of chime and articulation.

So, if you're looking for the pluck and cluck of a classic Strat single coil, look no further, because Fender have done the hard work of recreating classic sonics for you!

Complete with premium Stratocaster appointments

Every component adds to the authenticity. The American Vintage II Stratocaster hosts a series of hardware that helps capture the essence of Fender tone and character. From its correct vintage style tuners that keep a tight grip on your strings, to its synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, every part boasts an unmatched quality.

In unison, the bridge, bone nut and vintage-style tuners deliver a pristine resonance, letting each note ring out clearly with sustain and clarity to give your playing peak definition. And what's more, these premium appointments are set in to an original-style alder body for the nimble, lightweight, and comfortable Strat attack.
