1997 Fender American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster Black 100% Original w/ Tweed Case
Fitted with the optional five-way pickup selector included with this model from the factory, this Strat can chime, sparkle, and quack with the best; the 57/62 black bobbin single coils feature alnico magnets, staggered pole pieces, and cloth-covered leads, delivering an array of classic Fender tones. Whether it's the biting spank of the bridge position, the extra warmth and girth that comes from the neck single coil, or the thinned-out quack at the "in between" positions, this Strat really does do it all. This American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
