Fender '62 Strat, sunburst, crafted in Japan 1997-00. At 3.1kg, this is the lightest Strat we've had through in a while. The light body pairs nicely with the always-agreeable '62 style slim, round vintage C neck... this thing is a very easy player. The USA pickups are bright and snappy, with plenty of sizzle in the top end and a nice plump bass. The classic burst finish is understated but not overrated, it looks charming... especially with the detailed maple grain on the headstock and neck and the lovely dark rosewood board. Stratify your life.
