COMMENTS
Replaced by Vintage Hot Rod '60s Stratocaster
FENDER SAYS
1962 was another benchmark year for the Stratocaster guitar. And what better way to celebrate that fact than to make one of the best, even better? The Vintage Hot Rod ’62 Strat features a thin nitrocellulose lacquer-finished body, a larger, “C” shaped satin-finished neck with a modern 9.5” radius and medium jumbo frets, the popular reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup, five-way switch and the tone pot wired to the bridge pickup.
