2012 Fender '62 Stratocaster ST62/ASH/MH Transparent Blue + Headstock SSH Near-Mint, Japan MIJ
2012 Fender '62 Stratocaster ST62/ASH/MH Transparent Blue + Headstock SSH Near-Mint, Japan MIJ
Up for sale, a 2012 Fender Stratocaster ‘62 vintage reissue model ST62/ASH/MH in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare “Made in Japan” Stratocaster features a gloss Transparent Blue finish over an ash body, complete with matching headstock. This is a notably rare variant of the ST62/ASH platform, likely produced as an FSR (Factory Special Run) release for a single dealer, boasting an SSH pickup complement.
Lightweight 7lbs 3oz, this Stratocaster offers plenty of note attack, sweet sustain and layered midrange detail. The pair of ST-Vintage single coil pickups in the neck and middle positions are clear and detailed, offering hollow quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch, and the Dragster humbucker at the bridge is big and bold, offering a great counterpoint to the single coils and taking gain well. This ST62/ASH/MH has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Transparent Blue finish on the body exhibits some yellowing of the clear coat yielding a greenish hue and highlighting the grain of the ash body. There’s barely a mark on the body, and the gloss on the neck profile is similarly flawless.
A modern Fender gigbag is included.
