- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Strat, '62 reissue, made in Japan in rare Jupiter Blue with matching headstock. This one features some factory-installed USA Texas Special pickups, which offer fairly hot output and enhanced bass response: it sounds awesome! It's got a thick, rich body to balance the classic Strat-attack. The neck is a nice slim shape, it's a fast player that eats up riffs all day. You don't see many Strats in this finish, let alone with the matching headstock: this one is a badass through and through.
