Essential Information About the 70th Anniversary Vintera II Antigua Stratocaster Guitar
- Iconic "Antigua" finish with matching hand-painted pickguard, a direct nod to the seventies Strat models.
- Alder body and 6-saddle hardtail bridge for precise attack, increased sustain, and exemplary tuning stability.
- Maple neck with 70?s "U" profile, rosewood fingerboard with 7.25" radius for vintage comfort, Vintage Tall frets for easy bends.
- Three 70th Anniversary Vintage-Style ?70s Single-Coil pickups with clear, snappy, and expressive tone, featuring a commemorative neck plate.
A 70s Icon, Reissued for a Historic Anniversary
This Vintera II "Antigua" pays tribute to the faded finishes that marked the Stratocasters of the 70s. It incorporates the aesthetic and ergonomic codes of the era (wide headstock, 3-bolt neck plate, Micro-Tilt) while offering meticulous modern production. A collector?s model? designed to be played, not just admired.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists, or motivated beginners seeking a true vintage feel. Its SSS pickup configuration and hardtail bridge make it formidable in funk, pop, 70s/indie rock, blues, and surf. The dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup adds flexibility to soften the trebles in rhythm or lead playing.
The Sound
The alder provides a balanced foundation with present mids and firm lows. The maple neck combined with the rosewood fingerboard offers a bright upper spectrum that is never harsh. The three Vintage-Style ?70s Single-Coil pickups deliver the crystalline "chime" and the typical Strat "quack" in positions 2 and 4, while the hardtail bridge, without vibrato, enhances attack and sustain. The classic electronics (volume, 2 tone controls, 5-position selector) guarantee immediate versatility on stage and in the studio.
