Brandishing a show-stopping Heavy Relic nitro lacquer finish, the Fender Custom Shop NAMM Limited 1962 brings you the sound, vibe, and broken-in feel of a well-loved vintage Stratocaster. This Strat’s foundation might as well have come straight out of the early-’60s Fullerton factory, comprising a lightweight 2-piece alder body and a full-bodied ’60s-style oval C quarter-sawn maple neck — the latter of which features a slightly modernized tweak in its 9.5-inch-radius AAA rosewood fingerboard and 21 narrow-tall frets for a more fluid feel while bending. Next, a period-correct collection of hardware bookends this Strat with vintage-style slot-in tuning machines and an American Vintage Synchronized tremolo unit that affords you expressive and shimmering sounds with the press of your palm. Of course, the Fender Custom NAMM Limited 1962 Stratocaster matches its vintage aesthetic with the unabashedly vintage sonics in the form of three Custom Shop hand-wound '60/'63 Strat pickups. Whether you’re dishing out biting blues licks, soaring rock solos, or reverb-drenched surf drip, this NAMM Limited 1962 Stratocaster sings with a spot-on replication of the era-defining sound that's just as relevant today as it was back in the instrument's golden era.
