I've just found a re-issue Vintage American 57 strat in a magazine but I'd have to travel a long way to see it, before making the journey, can anyone offer any comments?

I've seen the specs for the 57 here on the Products page and noticed the main differences, V neck, vintage frets etc. I just wondered how it would compare to a modern strat, I have an American Series strat.

Hi Barry, the biggist difference for you would be the 7.25" neck contour, yours has a 9.50" contour. The neck shape is different"V" as opposed to modern neck shape. Body contours are different, the trem is different also. The ONLY way of knowing if you like it would be to play one yourself. Different players can/will adapt if they want/need to.

Later, Ron H.
