Fender Stratocaster American Vintage – AMERICAN VINTAGE 62 STRATOCASTER Guitar Review :: Fender Electric Guitars Reviews
recalls the vibe of its Kennedy-era progenitor; a fresh look and faster action
1962 was another watershed year for the Strat guitar. Five years of experimentation after the famous ’57 strat model culminated in another benchmark year for the Stratocaster. Now, the American Vintage ’62 Fender Stratocaster recalls the vibe of its Kennedy-era progenitor, it updates the ’57 Strat with a fresh look and faster action; it comes with the original tremolo with ashtray cover and authentic 3-way switching, but includes the parts to upgrade to 5-way and features a capped rosewood fingerboard, three-ply aged white pickguard and unique ’57/’62 pickups.
