Fender Custom Shop '62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Lake Placid Blue Guitar
This is a Fender Custom Shop '62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Lake Placid Blue Guitar. 1959 was a year of marked change for the Fender Stratocater. From 1959 until summer 1962 the fingerboard of the Strat was a piece of rosewood milled flat on the underside and glued to the maple. This has become known as a "slab fingerboard". If you aren't lucky enough to own an original '62 Strat then this is Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Heavy Relic Strat is the next best thing. And thanks to its amazing set of vintage-style single-coil pickups, this guitar sounds like an original! Hold the '62 Heavy Relic Strat, and you'll love the feel of its soft-oval-C neck shape. Its lightweight ash body is comfortable and very resonant, and the thin lacquer finish only adds to this amazing Strat's responsiveness. Take a trip back to rock 'n' roll's golden age, with the '62 Heavy Relic Strat!Highlights
This Fender Custom Shop Strat boasts an ash body with a lacquer finish. The tinted 1-piece quartersawn maple neck is wrapped with a polyurethane finish and sports a Soft Oval "C" shape with a Rosewood Fretboard. The single-ply pickguard and 5-way pickup switch with three single-coil pickups.
As a member of the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Series, this Strat is treated with the Heavy Relic treatment. This means the instrument is finished to resemble an instrument that has enjoyed a long life of heavy use. This includes significant wear and tear to the finish, dings to the body, neck, and headstock, and aged hardware. The end result is an instrument that looks like it's been around for a while and plays like a broken-in instrument. After playing one of the Heavy Relic Time Machine Strats there is no other way to go. Just like your favorite old pair of jeans it just feels right.
Classic feel and tone with the '62 Heavy Relic Strat! A Fender Classic.
