Extremely satisfied with my order. The guitar is absolutely beautiful and I’m especially impressed with the surf green color. The guitar plays and sounds great, love the 60s pickups, would definitely buy another one. Shipping with American Musical was smooth and the guitar was in great condition when I received it.

I had to wait a month to get the one I wanted as they were sold out but worth the wait.
I got the surf green one and it changes color in certain light to a blue kinda which is cool too
Comes with nice bag. 5 way switch makes for some killer tone combos. Like all the guitars I’ve bought the neck needed a tweak but other then that good to go Would buy again

I’m no stranger to custom shop strats. No, it doesn’t have the nitro smell or the perfectly rolled edges, but this is one spectacular guitar.
First impressions out of the box, it felt really nice in my hands, kind of similar to the deluxe Lone Star Strat I used to own, but the neck on this one is a lot more comfortable to me. I couldn’t find any flaws in the finish or the fretboard and frets. And best of all is how this guitar resonates, it’s deep and soulful when unplugged. Plugged in it sounds just like a strat should. I see no reason to change the pickups.
The setup was a little off. A minor truss rod tweak and trem spring adjustment were all it really needed. I always put .10’a on anyway. The fret ends were nice and smooth and the fingerboard edges, while not “rolled,” felt rounded and smooth regardless. It really does feel like a high end USA made instrument.
I was worried about the lighter brown colored Pau Ferro, but it really looks fantastic on this guitar. Also, the mint green pickguard is much greener than the photos and matches really well. Also the tint on the headstock and neck is perfect. It’s nice and dark but not too dark. It’s just right to make it look old and classy. The fretboard was very dry, though and a bit of oiling really brought out the grain and made it look a bit darker and much nicer. The ice blue is a nice color but it’s kind of weird. Almost looks green in certain lighting.
The vintage frets are not for everyone but I absolutely love them. Also the radius is just fine, no fret-outs anywhere like everyone tries to tell you. I can see why most people would want the modified version if you’re a speed demon, but if you like a luxurious and smooth feel, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Received my Fender Vintera 60s 3 tone sunburst Strat today from AMS. Opened the box & was amazed by the vintage tinted neck. Body looks great too. No issues. Did my own little setup ( from 3 to 2 springs in the bottom of the trem., D'Addario 9 gauge strings & lowered the action) & it plays & sounds perfect. Quality & workmanship is excellent. Glad it came with a nice Fender gigbag. I love this guitar. I own many Strats & this one ranks with the best. Thanks to AMS for the easy payment plan too!
