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. Delivers idealized Strat tones The NAMM Limited 1962 Stratocaster's Custom Shop hand-wound '60\/’63 single-coil pickups are a popular choice among Strat connoisseurs. These vintage-style Strat pickups leverage period-correct construction with formvar wire, Alnico V magnets, and a vintage magnet stagger, supplying you with a focused sound, enhanced dynamics, and a balanced output. These pups give you everything a Strat devotee craves, from chimey, glassy cleans to chunky grind, with all the spank 'n' sparkle you can handle. To top it off, you get RWRP operation for hum-canceling in positions two and four. ’60s oval C profile neck There’s a reason why the C profile neck has served as the standard Fender neck shape for decades — it’s simply a great middle-ground neck style that all types of players have come to love. That said, the C has quite a few minor variations, and if you’re a player who likes a slightly chunkier neck, you’ll love the NAMM Limited 1962 Stratocaster’s oval C profile. This profile offers all the comfort of a standard C but with a greater heft to better fill out your hand. Plus, this vintage-style neck brandishes a variety of modern appointments: 21 narrow-tall frets in a modern 9.5-inch radius make everything from open chords to high-register bends a breeze. Well-worn nitrocellulose relic finish The Fender Custom Shop NAMM Limited 1962 Stratocaster is more than simply a sonic tribute to the greatest Strats of the past. This guitar’s well-worn nitrocellulose relic finish gives you the instantly “broken-in” feel that’s so common among the most venerable of vintage instruments. From the battle scars on the alder body to the thinned-away finish on the maple neck, vintage fanatics love how this guitar captures every aesthetic detail of a true golden-age classic.
