Built in 2013 as part of Fender’s highly regarded American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) series, this ’56 Stratocaster captures the unmistakable look, feel, and tone of a mid-1950s original with remarkable accuracy. Designed using original tooling and direct reference to genuine 1956 examples, this model reflects the era when the Stratocaster was still a new and revolutionary instrument, delivering bright, articulate tones and effortless playability wrapped in timeless Fender style.

This example is in great overall condition, showing only minor playwear and a few lacquer-level dings consistent with light use, all visible in the thin nitrocellulose finish, and a small portion of the Stratocaster headstock decal has been scratched away. It plays beautifully, sounds outstanding, and includes the original deluxe vintage tweed hard case, making it a superb choice for players seeking authentic vintage feel without the fragility or cost of an original 1950s instrument.
