Description Brand: Fender
This model was only offered for one year! A true Hot Rod of a guitar! Made in November of 2013 and discontinued after only one year, this is a not-too-common guitar. Nothing wrong with it, this model just didn't sell well, I guess. It has the same build quality and features of the current American Vintage guitars. Probably less than 4 hours total play time on it. Has that super fragile thin nitro finish in a beautiful opaque sunburst, so there may be some minor surface imperfections from handling. I love the sound of the pickups and overall playability and quality of the guitar, but have come to realize I prefer guitars with thicker necks (this one is more slender than I thought it would be). I will stick with my Hot Rod 62 strat and my Gibson Les Paul Standard for now. I would love to get an American Deluxe V neck stratocaster because the specs sound perfect, so please, BUY MY GUITAR so I will have the cash to get one!! š I emailed Fender for information on this guitar and this is their response: Hello, The serial number provided corresponds with a Vintage Hot Rod 60's Stratocaster w/rosewood fret board in 3-Tone Sunburst finish manufactured 11/2013.
