Description
The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Stratocaster NOS in Inca Silver feels like a love letter to one of the most iconic eras in guitar history. Whether you're a seasoned player looking to capture true vintage spirit or a collector chasing authentic craftsmanship, this Strat hits all the right notes. Rooted in the unmistakable vibe of early-'60s California, it's a faithful tribute to the sound, feel, and style that shaped generations; the Inca Silver finish alone feels like a quiet rebellion against the ordinary, making it an instant classic.
Built with a 2-piece alder body selected for light weight, this Strat is all about tonal purity and resonance. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe, giving you a vibrant, dynamic tone that shines in blues, surf, rock, and beyond. The '60 Strat Custom Shop pickups deliver those sweet, bell-like highs, punchy mids, and articulate lows that define the golden age of Fender; paired with a 5-way switch, this guitar covers an impressive tonal palette for the stage or studio. Every vintage-correct detail, from the American Vintage Strat bridge to the chrome/nickel hardware, keeps it deeply rooted in tradition while offering modern reliability.
When it comes to feel, this guitar is a dream. The '60s Oval "C" neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, striking a perfect balance between slim and substantial. A 9.5" radius and narrow tall 6105 frets make bends effortless and chording smooth, while the AAA-grade rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone and a buttery touch under your fingers. With a bone nut, vintage-style tuners, and meticulously crafted neck construction, tuning stability and intonation are rock solid, giving you full confidence no matter where you're playing.
Visually, this Stratocaster is a stunner. The Inca Silver finish is both bold and timeless, shimmering subtly under stage lights and adding an unmistakable air of sophistication. Vintage white accents across the pickguard and knobs bring out a classic '60s vibe that's impossible to fake; it's a guitar that looks as good as it sounds.
This Fender Custom Shop 1962 Stratocaster NOS isn't just a guitar; it's a genuine piece of history, reborn with precision and passion. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer an instrument that speaks so deeply to the artistry and legacy of Fender; it's the kind of Strat that feels instantly familiar yet endlessly inspiring every time you plug in.
