Fender '62 Strat, ocean turquoise, crafted in Japan 2004-5. We haven't had an ocean turquoise through the store for a few months, I almost forgot how delightful they look. It was a non-catalog finish in the mid 00s, so they come up now and again as limited runs, and dang... paired with the streaky rosewood board and contrasting white plastics, it looks a darn treat. The neck is a comfy rounded C shape, slim but not drastically so, and feels very agreeable in the hands indeed. The neck pickup is full and warm, with a generous percussive bass and a gooey understated midrange. The middle and bridge pickups deliver plenty of spank and shimmer, balanced by a creamy body with a pleasing complexity. This is a thoroughly enjoyable Strat, it'll fill the gap in your sonic imagination just right.
