1984 Fender Fullerton American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster Black w/ Case, Hangtags
Up for sale, a 1984 Fender Fullerton-made American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, hangtags, and case candy. This Stratocaster was crafted during the brief window of American Vintage production at Fender’s original Fullerton, CA factory, 100% original save for a replacement five-way pickup selector switch and a refret with Narrow/Tall fretwire.
The Fullerton factory era of Fender vintage reissue production was very brief, lasting only from 1982-84, when Fender was still manufacturing their guitars on the same machines that made the originals back in the '50s and '60s. These models marked the birth of the American Vintage line of instruments, and were the very first vintage reissue guitars ever offered by the Fender company (when in this case the model they were replicating was only 20+ years old). While Fender would later move to a new factory in Corona, CA in 1985, the Fullerton-made guitars are highly prized for their rarity, tone, and connection to the origins of the Fender company.
Traditional tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fingerboard, and this Strat weighs 7lbs 10oz. The single coils are wound to vintage spec with black bobbin flatwork, staggered alnico magnets and cloth-covered leads, delivering quintessential Strat chime and clarity, with a sweet sparkle at the bridge and a notably smooth treble response. There’s a woody chop on tap in the middle position and a bell-like top end and plenty of meat at the neck, with hollow quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch. This Fullerton-made American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
