The Fender Custom Shop '62 Stratocaster Relic RW is distinguished by its classic relic finish, which meticulously emulates the wear and tear of decades of music making. This finish not only enhances the visual appeal with its vintage charm but also contributes to the guitar's unique character and feel. The nitrocellulose lacquer in Olympic White ages beautifully, giving each guitar its own distinctive patina over time, making it not just an instrument but a piece of history.
At the heart of this Stratocaster's exceptional sound are its custom hand-wound Fat 60's pickups, designed to recreate the robust, vibrant tones typical of the 1960s era. These pickups provide a rich harmonic response and maintain clarity even at high volumes, suitable for everything from blues to rock. The strategic relic treatment on the pickups ensures they not only sound like vintage components but look the part as well.
This guitar's playability is significantly enhanced by its custom neck profile and precise fretwork, which are designed to provide a comfortable, smooth playing experience. The medium-tinted maple neck features a 60's style oval "C" back shape, coupled with a 9.50-inch radius rosewood fingerboard that facilitates easy bending and fast playing. The neck is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer for a sleek, fast feel, allowing players to navigate the fretboard with ease.
Combining the allure of vintage aesthetics with the reliability of modern craftsmanship, the '62 Stratocaster Relic RW meets the demands of professional musicians. The chrome/nickel hardware is not only visually striking but also built to withstand the rigours of both live performances and studio sessions. Each component, from the bridge assembly to the tuning keys, is engineered for durability and precision, ensuring that the guitar not only looks like a classic but performs like a modern-day instrument.
