American Vintage ’57 Reissue Stratocaster – In-depth Gear Demo – MasterThatGear!

Hey Folks, in this MasterThatGear! video we have a detailed look at my new Strat, an Ash bodied AVRI ’57 strat in white blonde.

I had been looking to get an all maple neck Strat for a little while 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 😀
