Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender’s American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster in Mocha combines an ash body with a maple neck and maple fingerboard, finished in gloss polyurethane. The C-profile neck and 7.25-inch fingerboard radius define the playing platform, while three Pure Vintage ’73 single-coils are assigned distinct roles: crisp, articulate bridge response, a warmer neck voice with added low end, and a balanced middle setting. A five-way switch makes those pickup choices available from the guitar, alongside master volume and two tone controls. Vintage-style hardware and a black vintage-style case round out the package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rhythm or solo parts that call for the balanced middle pickup setting.
- Players who want access to bridge, neck, and middle single-coil voices from a five-way selector.
- Players comfortable with a C-shaped neck and a 7.25-inch-radius maple fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer a fingerboard material other than maple.
- Players who do not want a C-shaped neck profile.
