Description
The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Stratocaster is a premium guitar built for musicians who love all things '60s. Featuring a trio of Custom Shop pickups, an Olympic White finish, and a NOS (New Old Stock) finish package, this axe looks, sounds, and feels like a genuine vintage Fender that's been transported into the modern-day.
Strat fans will love this model the moment they pick it up. Its 2-piece alder body gives it a rich, familiar tone with exceptional sustain and punchy upper mids. Meanwhile, its plain grain maple neck has a '60-style Oval "C" shape that fills the hand nicely but still lends itself to fast playing. Pair that with the 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard, bone nut, and narrow-tall frets, and you've got a rippin' guitar that's ready for any stage.
The 1962 Stratocaster takes that legendary Strat chime up a notch, doubling down on clarity, sweetness, and fullness. A trio of '60 Custom Shop Strat pickups churn out a delightfully rounded sound with deep lows, bell-like highs, and a mildly subdued midrange. Select the neck pickup for more depth and a slightly darker tone. Flip on the bridge single-coil, and this beauty will bark, bite, and howl.
Shipped in a brown hardshell case, the Fender Custom Shop 1962 Stratocaster is ready to perform the minute it arrives. For players after the perfect '60s Strat without the vintage markup, this masterfully made guitar can't be beaten.
