In-depth demo of a 2009 American Vintage '57 Reissue Fender Stratocaster in classic white blonde.
Hey Folks, in this MasterThatGear! video we have a detailed look at my new Strat, an Ash bodied AVRI '57 strat in white blonde. A reissue of the classic 1957 Stratocaster. I had been looking to get an all maple neck Strat for a little while, looking for that extra snap and sparkle, and had been interested in Fender's new Vintera range but was ideally looking for something with a Nitro finish.
eBay came to the rescue as I spotted this lovely beast up for auction :D
