Up for sale, here’s a rare to find Fender AV62 (American Vintage ’62) Stratocaster in a beautiful Sherwood Green Metallic.

Made in Corona, CA USA in 2000. 100% all original. It comes with its original brown tolex case and tags. The G&G brown tolex case is different from he typical you might’ve seen on all AV62 instruments. These one with a slightly darker tolex, round handle and brown interior were only made for a short period of time int he early 2000’s and it looks amazing.

We can provide more photos, audios or videos upon request through the message area.

The color is stunning, a beautiful Nitrocellulose finish in Sherwood Green Metallic, with a 3-ply Mint pickguard and rosewood fingerboard making a killer combination.

The instrument has been gently used, however there is some honest wear due to the nitrocellulose lacquer (just a couple of marks over the arm rest and edges of the body that it really looks very cool to me and it’ll keep aging nicely over the time. Even with brand newly purchased American Vintage instruments could came from factory with minimal “finish issues” as explained in the Fender Lacquer information sheet included in the case candy. See the photos, although and because of that we still believe it’s in Very Good condition, with some wear and other visual defects and has been played or used with care and there’s no compromise at all with the playability and functionality of the instrument whatsoever.

These AV62 are sought after because of their unique neck profile, with a sweet slimmer early ’60s profile with 7.25″ radius slab fretboard, vintage tuners and era correct decal logo. The neck is perfectly straight with truss rod working flawlessly.  It’s currently strung with a fresh brand new set of D’addario .010 – .046″ and it plays beautiful.

It will be professionally packed, insured and shipped out to Continental US only. Local Pickup in LA is also welcome at no cost.
