Fender MIJ Stratocaster ST-62 in Sherwood Green from 1990-91, USED

The Fender MIJ Stratocaster ST-62 in Sherwood Green from 1990-91 is a stunning example of Fender Japan’s attention to vintage accuracy and craftsmanship. This ST-62 model is designed to replicate the look, feel, and tone of early 1960s Stratocasters, with a unique and rare Sherwood Green finish that brings a striking aesthetic to the instrument. Fender Japan is known for its meticulous quality control, and this model highlights those standards with vintage-style detailing and solid playability.

The guitar features an alder body, which produces a balanced and full sound, capturing both warmth and clarity. Its vintage-style maple neck has a "U" shape profile, true to the ’62 Strat design, and is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, which enhances the guitar’s smooth playability and tonal depth. The fingerboard radius is 7.25 inches, staying true to the original vintage specs, offering a comfortable and familiar feel to players who appreciate the subtleties of classic Fender neck designs.

Equipped with vintage-style single-coil pickups, the ST-62 delivers that quintessential Stratocaster sound: crisp, articulate, and glassy tones with ample clarity and depth. The pickups produce excellent vintage-style chime, especially in the neck and middle positions, while the bridge pickup offers a bit more bite, perfect for classic rock, blues, and even surf tones. Combined with traditional Strat electronics and a 5-way selector switch, this setup allows players to explore a broad range of sounds that are faithful to Fender’s legacy.

This MIJ Stratocaster also includes vintage-style hardware, such as the synchronized tremolo bridge and classic-style tuners, providing both aesthetic appeal and solid tuning stability. Its Sherwood Green finish adds a level of visual uniqueness and is an eye-catching choice among more conventional Strat colors, giving this guitar a collectible appeal alongside its excellent playability. With a mix of vintage specs and authentic tone, this ST-62 is a fantastic option for both enthusiasts and gigging musicians.
