1962 Orig 1 Owner Pre CBS Fender Strat

All you see in the case you get.. Pretty neat Vintage case candy

Well played and Loved by same player who bought it back in 1962, 61+ years ago now

The Strat plays and sounds Bell Tone City.. That simple!

It has 2 rewound pickups,bridge & neck

5 way 1970's Vintage 5 Way switch installed

Re Fretted with jumbos

It came with a factory 1965 decal. I just put one of my own real 1962 PRE CBS decal I had in my stash. All original finish on neck

Vol pot has been changed to a 1964 250K Fender Pot

Bridge pickup reads 6.52k

Middle pickup reads 5.71k

Neck pickup reads 6.04k

Neck is 7-1/4" radius.. 1-5/8" Nut

Neck is a Full C Shape Neck Profile

20.64mm @ 1st fret

24.60mm @ 12th fret

As you see black light pictures show Glow Yellow, and whole Strat has it's original Nitro 3 Tone Sunburst Finish***

The original owner back 1965 the Fender Decal was flaking off some, he took it to a Fender dealer and they installed a new 1965 decal. I could not live with a 65 decal on a PRE CBS 1962 Strat..... So

.

Weight is 7lbs 1oz! That is Called Feather Weight, and Rare you ever get a 7lb Pre CBS Strat. You'll see a Tele or Esquire weigh in @ 7lbs sometimes, But Never A Strat

Aug 62 Neck Date..

6302 both tone pot dates.. That is 2nd week 1963, Vol Pot is 1964..I'm calling this Strat a 1962 Neck and Body date late 1962. Still a Non L Plate ser # And one of the 1st Brazilian Rosewood Veneer Fretboards as Fender done away with the Thick Slaboard they used from Mid 1959 to Mid 1962.. SRV #1 Strat had a 1962 Veneer Fretboard also.. Sorry I never really liked the Thick Slaboard Strat. To Dark sounding to me.
