Frequently Asked Questions - Vintera '50s Stratocaster Modified FENDER
What string gauge is recommended for the Vintera '50s Stratocaster Modified?
Fender recommends using .009-.042 gauge strings for optimal tension and playability. Lighter or heavier gauges may require truss rod adjustment.
How do I adjust the truss rod?
Use the included 1/8 inch hex wrench. Turn clockwise to tighten (reduce relief) or counterclockwise to loosen (increase relief). Only make quarter-turn adjustments and check relief frequently.
What is the difference between the Vintera '50s and the Modified version?
The Modified version features a 9.5-inch fretboard radius, medium jumbo frets, and a modified wiring that allows the bridge pickup to be combined with the neck pickup in position 2.
Can I install a humbucker in the bridge position?
Yes, but it requires a pickguard modification or a replacement pickguard. The body is routed for a humbucker in the bridge, so no routing is needed.
How do I set up the tremolo bridge?
Balance the tremolo using the claw screws in the back cavity. Adjust spring tension so that the bridge sits parallel to the body when in tune. The pivot screws on the front can adjust action.
What is the scale length of this guitar?
The scale length is 25.5 inches (648 mm), standard for Fender Stratocasters.
How many frets does it have?
It has 21 frets, typical for vintage-style Stratocasters.
Is the guitar compatible with aftermarket parts?
Yes, most Stratocaster parts are compatible, including pickguards, pickups, bridges, and tuning machines. The neck pocket is standard.
How do I clean and maintain the fretboard?
For maple fretboards, use a damp cloth and wipe dry; do not use lemon oil. For pau ferro, occasional conditioning with mineral oil can keep it hydrated.
What is the warranty on this guitar?
Fender offers a limited lifetime warranty, covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required.
