1962 Fender Stratocaster in Olympic White, (Used, Comm)
The 1962 Fender Stratocaster in Olympic White features a solid alder body with nitrocellulose lacquer over a Desert Sand undercoat, showcasing the classic 1960s finish. Its one-piece maple neck bears a slab rosewood fingerboard with vintage clay-dot inlays, styled to a medium “C” profile.
This Strat delivers that unmistakable early ‘60s tonal character, thanks to its original Black Bottom single-coil pickups and period-correct hardware such as Kluson tuners and the vintage tremolo bridge. These components work together to produce resonant cleans, harmonic-rich overdrive, and the lively responsiveness synonymous with pre-CBS Strats.
Overall, the 1962 Olympic White Stratocaster embodies pre-CBS craftsmanship and sonic clarity, combining timeless aesthetics with potent, expressive performance. It remains a prized instrument valued equally by serious collectors and players seeking authentic vintage tone.
