Seller's description

1962 Fender Stratocaster - Sunburst Now this is what a vintage Strat should look like! A fantastic all original 1962 Fender Stratocaster with tons of honest play wear — this guitar has been played a lot, and it shows in the best possible way. If the Fender Custom Shop ever needs an example of how a Strat should age, this is it. Beautiful sunburst with wear and weather checking all over. It's one of the last slab board Strats made: the neck is dated June 1962, right before Fender switched to the 'thinner' veneer rosewood boards. The pots date to week 16 of 1962. There is no body date — perfectly normal in this period — but it's clear that neck and body have always been together. The neck has a very comfortable medium C profile and is completely played in: a true broken-in feeling you simply can't fake. The three original black bottom pickups sound fantastic. All parts are original; only the spacing tubes were replaced because the old ones had deteriorated (they are in the case). Comes in its original brown case with red lining. Real slab board Strats like this are getting harder and harder to find — there are not many on the market these days, so we're happy to be able to offer this one.
