Full Description
View Full DescriptionA classic tone that has been loved for generations
This Strat is a top-of-the-line electric guitar that is a must-have for any musician looking to create that iconic sound. The '62 Custom Shop is equipped with three hand-wound ‘60-‘63 single-coil pickups, which are renowned for their ability to produce vibrant, chime tones with clear highs and tight lows. Whether you are playing blues, jazz, rock or experimenting with new genres, the ‘62 Stratocaster Relic will provide perfect tonal balance.
With a unique reverse-wound and reverse-polarity middle pickup, this guitar cancels the hum that is typically present in switch positions 2 and 4. Not only that, but this design also contributes to the Custom Shop's iconic sound. The articulation that is synonymous with the Stratocaster models popularized in the 1960s is fully captured by this beautifully crafted model.
Built for the ultimate performance
This exquisite instrument was designed with the player in mind. The neck of this Custom Shop, which has a '60s Oval C profile, feels comfortable in your hand, providing you with maximum control over your playing. This is topped with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard adorned with twenty-one narrow, tall frets, further contributing to the effortless playability of the Strat. Its maple neck is topped with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, creating a silky-smooth surface for fast, fluid, and fearless fretting. It gives the guitar a luxurious feel that is free from any fatigue, ensuring that you can play for hours without experiencing discomfort.
Perfection in every detail
With such incredible sound and playability, this Custom Shop is truly one of the best on the market. Its perfection shines through in every detail, including the hardware. A vintage synchronized tremolo bridge is an excellent upgrade for any guitar, as its components allow for smooth and accurate tremolo performances. This bridge is made from high-quality materials like solid steel and brass, providing long-lasting durability.
Also equipped are vintage style tuning machines, further enhancing the classic aesthetic of this model. They are built from high-quality materials such as brass and steel, ensuring that they will last for many years of use. The machines are also designed with a high gear ratio, requiring less rotation to achieve accurate tuning. What's more, American Vintage '59-'64 string trees help to keep the strings at the proper angle over the nut, reducing friction and improving sustain and intonation. They are crafted with a curved base that conforms to the radius of the fingerboard, ensuring that the strings are always at the correct angle.
