The Fender Custom Shop '62 Stratocaster Heavy Relic RW is a standout model that combines the allure of a time-worn instrument with the reliability of contemporary craftsmanship. Its heavy relic finish meticulously simulates years of playing and handling, giving it an authentic vintage look that is highly sought after by both collectors and performers. The visual appeal of this guitar is further enhanced by its classic colour scheme of Black over 3-color Sunburst, making it a striking piece both on and off stage.
Rich, versatile tone
Equipped with specially designed Strat Fat 60’s pickups, this guitar delivers a sound that is as rich and vibrant as its appearance. These pickups are engineered to enhance the natural qualities of the alder body, producing a tone that is warm yet punchy, with enough output to handle both clean and distorted settings effectively. Whether laying down rhythm tracks or soaring through solos, the tonal versatility of the '62 Stratocaster makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of musical styles.
Enhanced playability
The custom '60s style oval "C" neck profile and narrow tall frets are features designed to improve the playability of the '62 Stratocaster. These elements make it easier for musicians to perform complex chords and fast passages comfortably. The AAA grade Rosewood fingerboard not only adds to the smooth feel but also contributes to the overall tonal warmth, making each note played resonate with clarity and depth.
Quality construction
The commitment of Fender’s Custom Shop to quality is evident in every aspect of this guitar. From the hand-selected alder body to the premium nitrocellulose lacquer finish, each component is chosen for its ability to contribute to superior sound and durability. The nitro lacquer not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic but also allows the wood to breathe, aging gracefully and improving the instrument's tone over time. The result is a guitar that not only looks and sounds exceptional but also feels bespoke to the touch of the guitarist.
