In 2021, we had the pleasure of restoring and selling an incredible 1954 Fender Stratocaster, made in the first 1000 serial numbers of production, with a sassafras body and and incredible, and large, early 50's style neck.

Rudy's Music partnered with the Fender Custom Shop to recreate the glory of that guitar, as well as a whole series of the vintage Fender guitars we know and love, combining modern playability with vintage vibe, and trying to recreate these guitars as they would have left the factory in their original production year.

This example, a 1962 style Stratocaster in a beautiful Olympic White with matching headstock, is meant to be a modern fusion of vintage style/sound with modern accessibility, most notably with:

9.5" radius, 5-way switch, and 6105 Narrow Tall fretwire.

-Gorgeous alder body

-"Slab" rosewood fretboard

-Vintage Kluson style tuners

-Vintage style tremolo

-60's style Custom Shop hand-wound pickups.

The neck is an extremely comfortable C shape, very much reminiscent of its vintage counterparts.

Fans of Strats might notice the stark white neck, we had Fender recreate them as if you've just bought a new Strat for the first time in 1962, brand new to you. Imagine what it must have been like taking home your brand new Fender Stratocaster (then strung with flatwounds!) for the first time, having no idea what to expect. That's the feeling we're trying to capture. Comes with a Fender Custom Shop hardshell case.
