2001 Fender American Vintage '62 Stratocaster Surf Green w/ Tweed Case
Up for sale, a 2001 Fender American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster, finished in custom color Surf Green nitro lacquer and complete with the original tweed hardshell case. This discontinued USA-made Stratocaster model features an alder body, maple neck and slab rosewood fretboard, delivering a bold, detailed natural acoustic quality that translates well through the 57/62 black bobbin pickup set.
Featuring staggered, beveled alnico pole pieces, black fiber bobbins, and cloth-covered leads, Fender’s 57/62 pickups offer a potent upper midrange detail and bounce in the bridge position, a woody, sweet neck pickup sound and a nice hollow cut at the in-between positions on the three-way switch. This American Vintage Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 11oz, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Surf Green nitro lacquer finish exhibits yellowing of the clear coat, with concentrated buckle wear adjacent to the belly carve on the back, a finish chip on the bass-side horn, and some small dings on the body as a whole, largely along the lower bout perimeter. The ambered nitro gloss on the neck carve is clean and smooth, with a few shallow marks on the profile length.
