This 1962 Fender Stratocaster blends vintage character with player-friendly updates. With a neck date of November 2, 1962, this Strat is among the earliest models to feature a veneer fingerboard. The body has been tastefully refinished in white, maintaining its classic appeal. The neck has been oversprayed with a new decal, and it features a refret and new nut for improved playability. The middle and bridge pickups have been replaced, and a 5-way switch has been added for enhanced tonal versatility. While not entirely original, this Strat retains its vintage charm and delivers an exceptional playing experience. Includes the original hardshell case.
