From Fender’s golden pre-CBS era, this August ’62 Stratocaster offers all the charm, feel, and tone collectors crave, dressed in a striking Sherwood Green nitro refinish.
The alder body is paired with a wonderfully resonant Brazilian rosewood veneer fingerboard neck, stamped 2AUG62B. The neck has been refretted for optimal playability while retaining its comfortable, well-broken-in feel. Original Kluson single-line tuners hold tune perfectly, and the original “green-guard” pickguard has aged beautifully.

Under the hood, you’ll find three original black bobbin pickups with classic early-’60s output:
Neck: 5.80kΩ
Middle: 5.78kΩ
Bridge: 6.12kΩ
Electronics include two original dated pots (304-6232) and the original 3-way switch; the volume pot is a later replacement. Saddles may have been changed at some point, but the original bridge “ashtray” cover is present in the case.
At 3.4 kg, this guitar is light, lively, and acoustically resonant—an absolute joy to play. Comes housed in its original light brown Fender case.
Pre-CBS Stratocasters have long been sought after for their unmistakable tone and timeless style. This one offers vintage authenticity with player-friendly updates, making it an ideal choice for the discerning collector or serious musician alike.
