One of the most desirable production Fender Stratocaster guitars recreated to the finest detail.

1962 was another watershed year for the Fender Stratocaster. Five years of experimentation after the famous '57 electric guitar culminated in another benchmark year for the Stratocaster. Now, the Fender Custom Shop '62 Stratocaster Heavy Relic recalls the vibe of its Kennedy-era progenitor, and features a capped rosewood fingerboard, three-ply aged white pickguard, unique '62 pickups, American vintage synchronized tremolo with cover, and Fender/Gotoh vintage style tuning machines. This Heavy Relic 1962 Fender Strat comes with hardshell case, and Certificate of Authenticity.

The Fender Custom Shop "Heavy Relic" treatment creates guitars that are super worn-in, like your favorite pair of jeans. They show the natural wear and tear from years of heavy use — nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.

The Fender Time Machine 1962 Stratocaster and other Time Machine guitars pay homage to specific years of some of their classic designs. All are built to exacting specifications of their respective vintages, including body contours and radii, neck shape, fingerboard radius, pickups and electronics. Original materials, tooling and production techniques are employed wherever possible to maintain the integrity of these Fender guitars.
