1962 Fender Stratocaster

Serial #/ 83599, Neck date 2 Sept, 1962; pots dated 32nd week of '62, body dated 1962. Here's a killer sounding Strat that will be kind to yourwallet. Original body and neck, pickups, pots, shielding, bridge, saddles, tuners, frets, nut, neck-plate, headstock finish and decals. Non-originalbody finish, neck finish removed up to the headstock, vintage-aged replacement pickguard, replaced pickup covers and switch-tip, new capacitor,and a few replacement screws. We'll provide the original painted-over pickguard, and the original switch with the instrument. Pickups are hot andread 6.9(bridge) 7.8(middle), and 7.9(neck). Resonant alder body still has its original contours. It's a great feeling guitar - with a light 7.5 lbsweight, and fast and smooth neck. Original frets are quite worn and a refret wouldn't hurt, but the curved Brazilian board is full thickens andnice and straight overall. This is a great player's guitar as it sits, or with some restoration work can be made into a great looking relic.
