USED Fender Custom Shop / 1962 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Taos Turquoise [03]

A 2022 1962 Stratocaster Heavy Relic has arrived!
The wood construction features a carefully selected two-piece alder body, a quarter-sawn maple neck, and a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. The neck features the popular, moderately slim “60s Style Oval ‘C’” profile, paired with a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard and the slightly narrower, taller “Narrow Tall (6105)” profile, delivering exceptional playability.

The guitar is equipped with original “Hand-wired 60s Strat” pickups, which deliver clear highs while retaining the rich, full-bodied tone characteristic of hand-wound pickups. Combined with the clean, defined edge of the round-profiled fingerboard, this creates an attractive, well-separated sound with excellent projection.

The middle pickup is “RWRP” (Reverse Wind, Reverse Polarity), providing hum cancellation when in half-tone mode. The “Strat Vint Mod #1” control is used, which allows the tone control to affect the bridge pickup as well—a feature sure to please players.

Due to its heavy relic finish, the details of the scratches added later are unclear; however, aside from some rust visible on parts of the hardware, there is no notable damage, and the guitar remains in good condition.
The neck is in excellent condition, and there is still plenty of fret life remaining.

This is a striking guitar featuring a realistic Heavy Relic finish that recreates the patina of years of play, paired with the eye-catching, rare Taos Turquoise color. It’s in excellent “player’s condition” and ready for many more years of use!
