Fender '62 P, sunburst, crafted in Japan 1999-02. Here's a classic workhorse keen to get out there and play! Being a '62 style Precision, you get a nicely tasty round neck with a luxurious dark rosewood board; it feels great in the hands. The alder body is on show through the tasty burst finish; combined with the red tort guard this has a tidy vintage aesthetic that will look at home in all sorts of ensembles. The hefty Hipshot bridge adds a lot of brightness and definition to the tone. The combo of a USA pickup and alder body offer a nicely balanced thump with an even midrange, combined with some extra grind from the bridge this punches through beautifully. Are you a classy, hard working, keep-it-simple-and-tasty player? Here's your best mate.
