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