A 1-of-1 coming directly from the 2026 NAMM Custom Shop Event and teeming with early-1960s character, this Fender Custom Shop Limited ’62/’63 Stratocaster spans an important transitional period in Strat history in which notable spec changes to both the guitar's structure and aesthetic helped further solidify it as an American classic. This sublime solidbody electric guitar boasts an alder body with classic Strat contours, embellished by a thoroughly broken-in, densely weathered Super Heavy Relic nitro finish. This Limited ’62/’63 Stratocaster’s 5/4 quarter-sawn maple neck showcases a hand-filling ’63-style C shape reinforced by a 21-fret, 9.5-inch-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard. This vintage-inspired guitar bristles with all the legendary spank ‘n’ sparkle of an original 1960s-era model, fueled by the period-correct might of its hand-wound Custom Shop ’60/’63 Strat single-coil pickups. Additionally, you get a vintage-style synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines with Fender logos. A ’61–’63 headstock decal, a 3-ply mint green pickguard, and a dark-tint neck finish round out this Strat’s vintage-tinged aesthetics. Craving early-’60s Strat action with a subtle nod to Fender’s modern age? This Fender Custom Shop Limited ’62/’63 Stratocaster nails the era’s tone and feel, delivering vintage character with modern playability — a true standout for any serious Fender aficionado.
