Fender Strat

Original Fender 1962 Stratocaster in old Candy Apple Red Refinish! Beautiful natural aging!

Up for grabs we have an original 1962 Fender Stratocaster with various issues, thus explaining its price. Let me get on with the good parts first. The neck and the body wood is to my knowledge original to 1962. The neck has been refinished before with the decal replaced along with it. Fret seems to be all original, with the original Brazilian rosewood and original clay dot inlays! Original tuners now back on, was previously drilled for other tuners. Nut seems original. The body has had a very old correct C.A.R. refinish to it, but no over sanding that affected the contours or whatsoever, very professionally done. Just look at how well it has aged, as well as the weather checking on it. The pickguard is a non-original later reissue white guard that has aged nicely to a beautiful cream color. Likewise with the knobs and switch tip. However the pickup covers appear to be original. Pickups look to be original but I can't be 100% sure. Pots are dated to be from 1983, but it has the late 60's capacitor attached to it. Bridge is the original bridge, however the saddles have been replaced to newer reissue Fender Fender Saddles. As for the body, I believe the middle pickup cavity has been routed slightly deeper. Hardcase is not included. Look at the photo's and see for yourselves! You can't find a 1962 Stratocaster at the price for sure! Click on the thumbnails.
