[PREORDER] Fender Vintera Road Worn Mischief Maker 1960 Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Purple Metallic

Unique, sleek and exclusive — the Vintera Road Worn "Mischief Maker" Stratocaster is the result of another incredible collaboration between Andertons and Fender. Heavily inspired by the Fender Custom Shop's small yet immensely popular run of marvellous Mischief Maker guitars from a few years back, we simply had to get in on the action and offer a more affordable alternative with all the "mojo" of the original run!

Boasting a quirky design that consists of a '60s Strat body and '50s Tele neck, the Mischief Maker brings together the best of Fender's two most iconic guitar models. The Custom Shop Mischief Maker was a "relic'd" guitar, so we opted to give our exclusive Vintera version the 'Road Worn' treatment — for that cool played-in look and feel. It doesn't end there either, as we've also upgraded the pickups to Pure Vintage '59 single-coils wired in the USA!

Hybrid Strat/Tele design

The Mischief Maker's large "C" Tele neck provides a comfortable and familiar feel; a feature that'll surely appeal to old-school guitar aficionados who prefer a more substantial and supportive shape. The vintage frets and 7.25" radius contribute to that classic touch and provide enough control under the fingers to allow for smooth vibrato and easy playability.

Stylistically, the Fender Mischief Maker is in a league of its own. The slim Telecaster headstock gives the instrument a radically different look to the standard Vintera Strat, making it perfect for players who prefer more unique electric guitars. Pair that up with the nitro lacquer-finished Alder body, and you've got yourself an idiosyncratic instrument that punches well above its weight!

Pure Vintage '59 Pickups

Fender's US-wired Pure Vintage '59 pickups are wound to extremely precise specifications for authentic, traditional tone and performance. Built to evoke the original era of the Fender Stratocaster with their alnico 5 magnets and formvar-coated wire, these '59 Strat single coils produce a round, warm tone with a sweet edge.
