For sale: This Fender Deluxe Vintage Player '62 Stratocaster is one of only 300 made in 2005 making it not only a rare model but also a collectable, the actual date of production for this one is 01/2006. I am including the original brown tolex G&G case with decals and accessories (as pictured). This is (not) a custom shop guitar but it does have custom shop features. These 62's were only made for one year for Guitar Center as an alternative to the USA Vintage '62 Stratocaster for players that wanted more of a Hot Rod Vintage Strat with a flame maple look. I was a GC store manager when these came out and remember that only some of the larger stores recieved a couple of these limited edition models. Although this guitar is based on the 1962 Strat Reissue, it is a Custom Strat because as requested by GC, it has a 9.5 degree radius fretboard, medium-jumbo frets, a 2 tone tobacco sunburst(62's have a 3 tone), texas special pickups, aged knobs/pickup covers, lightly tinted C shapped neck and a beautiful veneer flame maple top (which also gives it a bright amber color compared to regular 62's) on an alder body finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer. I've removed the tremolo spring cover but it is included. She is in 9.5 out of 10 condition due to an insignificant ding which is pictured and minor pickguard rash. I played her infrequently so there is vitually no fretware. The serial number is V140572 and I will only ship to the Continental United States. My price is very reasonable for a rare model in this condition, no this price is a damn good deal! I am not accepting trades. I live in Visalia CA but you can contact me on my cell
or email me, my name is Luis. I will consider (reasonable) offers.
