SOLD Fender Custom Shop '62 Stratocaster Heavy Relic RW, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Iconic period tones from Fat '60s pickups

Let every note ring with hallmark '60s quality. The Fender Custom Shop Fat '60s Strat pickups epitomize the sound of the revolutionary decade, infusing each performance with the iconic snap, bite, and punch that immortalized the Stratocaster. Crafted with an eye for authentic vintage tone, these pickups employ Formvar magnet wire, beveled alnico 2 magnets, and period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbins, ensuring each note is drenched in warm, sweet outputs reminiscent of the '60s era. The reverse-wound reverse-polarity middle pickup reduces hum, bringing modern clarity to the timeless sound.

While they exude a classic vibe, the Fat '60s pickups are engineered for contemporary performance. Their overwound design adds a rich low-end punch, breathing new life into the Strat's legendary character. This allows for the delivery of powerful riffs with sharp articulation, offering a sound palette that's as versatile as it is distinct. The meticulous construction and attention to detail in these pickups mean you're not just playing notes; you're weaving a part of musical history into your performances.

Heavy Relic’d hero

A ‘60s legend, reborn. Fender’s Custom Shop have reached into the past and given you a Strat that’s identical to models of the era. But a guitar that’s been around since the ‘60s is bound to have seen some action, so the Custom Shop have etched in every single blemish, wear, and wrinkle to present you with a real veteran of the stage. Each mark is filled with character and tell a story of the sights and songs this Strat has seen, giving your instrument an identity that just isn’t found on new factory finishes. If you like your instruments with personality, there’s no better representation.

Custom Shop appointments

Let loose with your playing. Equipped with a vintage style Fender 6-saddle tremolo bridge and a set of vintage tuners, you’re going to play to your best. That’s because these classic components will keep a strong hold on your strings, ensuring a stable performance that stays in tune! And that tremolo bridge will pave the way to all sorts of vibrato antics.

To cap it all off you get a dedicated hardcase to keep your one-of-a-kind Custom Shop creation protected. It’ll give you piece of mind while taking this collectible to gigs or recording sessions, ensuring it stays in pristine (yet relic’d!) condition. Added to that is a certificate of authenticity, letting everyone know that your instrument is a genuine, bonafide Custom Shop.
