1962 was another watershed year for the Stratocaster guitar. Five years of experimentation after the famous ’57 model culminated in another benchmark year for the Stratocaster. Now, the American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster recalls the vibe of its Kennedy-era progenitor, and features a capped rosewood fingerboard, three-ply aged white pickguard and unique ’57/’62 pickups.
