The 1962 Strat pictured is finished in the Custom Color Fiesta Red, and has gold hardware. Otherwise, it has the typical features associated with that year including a maple neck with a separate slab rosewood fingerboard, clay dot inlays, and a small headstock with a spaghetti Fender logo decal including three patent numbers. It has the usual greenish Nitrate 3-ply pickguard with a metal shielding plate underneath (replacing the one ply white guard in 1959).
