It's a product of decades of relentless pursuit of perfection, reflecting an unwavering commitment to quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Its pedigree is unmistakable; it bears the hallmarks of an instrument that stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of playability, design, and component selection.

'60s Melodies Reimagined

Relive the golden era of rock 'n' roll. Equipped with three Fat '60s pickups, it perfectly captures the iconic sound of the period, with a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern innovation. Each pickup is custom-wound to ensure a unique sonic character, delivering clarity, power, and punch note after note. Delve into the iconic Strat's snap and bite.

Even though they sound vintage, this trio of pickups are still swimming in modern innovation, perfect for the demands of today's guitarists. The middle pickup is reverse-wound which means it alleviates any unwanted hum, so you'll only have pure, immaculate sonic greatness soaring from the speakers.

A Nostalgic Journey

The Heavy Relic finish on 62 Stratocaster is an authentic tribute to the '60s, exuding vintage charm and timeless appeal. The alder body, ideal for blues and rock styles, complements the '60s-style oval "C" neck, offering a playing experience reminiscent of the era's ground-breaking guitars.

A neck built for playing hands

There's nothing quite like having a Custom Shop neck in your hands, knowing it is one of the finest you will ever lay fingers on. The quartersawn maple neck, meticulously crafted with the finest attention to detail, promises smooth fret transitions, a comfortable grip, and bright resonance. As the maple neck sits comfortably in your hand, a ravishing rosewood fretboard - adorned with 21 narrow tall frets - will allow for smooth and seamless fretting. This means you can focus on the things that matter most - your jaw-dropping playing and blinding performance. You'll be able to express yourself clearly and with complete accuracy all along the fretboard, and your licks will glimmer with character.

Superior tonewoods

Featuring a Custom Shop quality Maple neck with a AAA Rosewood fingerboard and a 9.50" radius, this guitar boasts best-in-class playability. The neck has a custom 60's-style oval "C" shape with a small headstock and vintage-style tuning keys. Narrow tall fret wire and 21-fret design make the instrument easy to play and capable of delivering wickedly fast riffs and complex chord progressions. It also comes with a bone nut for a classic, authentic sound that's perfect for any genre.

High-End Hardware

Every component of the guitar is carefully selected and installed for optimal performance and reliability. The Vintage Strat bridge ensures superb tuning stability, while the vintage-style tuners provide excellent string support. The 5-way selector switch and vintage-style control assembly allow for precise and easy sound adjustment.

Made to measure protection

It's individual, unique, and custom made. There won't be another guitar like it, and Fender know it. So, to keep your pride and joy secure, there's a deluxe hardshell case included. This plush protection will get you to and from gigs while keeping the guitar in top condition. And for the collectors out there, it also comes with a certificate of authenticity so you'll have proof that it's the genuine article. Last but certainly not least, an included strap means you can don the Strat straight away. Get ready to rock.
