About this great Stratocaster...

A great mix of old and new features in a guitar that has a ton of vibe and really plays smoothly. Grab this guitar if you want that vintage tone, but with a more modern feel via the medium jumbo frets and satin feel. We find it great for early Beck Blow By Blow and Wired tones, as well as a nice blues guitar and anything in between.

The Official Line...

Classic looks, modern tone and feel! The new Vintage Hot Rod ’62 Stratocaster® guitar fuses the best of the old and the new in one awesome instrument. Great classic features include vintage styling and a thin-skin nitrocellulose lacquer finish; modern features include three American Vintage Strat® single-coil pickups (with reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup), a satin-backed neck with a flatter radius and medium-jumbo frets. Looks, sounds and feel both vintage and brand-new at the same time!
