    What a '62 Strat would look like brand new (4K)

    Hi guys,

    For all the vintage 50's-60's strats I've seen over the years, I don't think I ever saw an old (period-correct, from the era) "brand new" one where it was perfectly preserved, the old guitars are always beaten down. So, I decided to make my own 62' Strat as if it had just came from the factory, without a single bit of wear/dust/scratches.
    Made it entirely by myself using Fender blueprints/patents. There are a few differences from the real guitar, but still I think it's a nice recreation.

    If you have any requests to see other parts of it up-close, or any feedback in general, feel free to do so.

    Hope you guys like it.
    Cheers!

    Nothing new to see here, I've been building these for years.

    Nice '62 clone though.

    Thank you! Mine is a virtual (3D) clone, though ;)

    I'm planning a new video soon. If you guys have any suggestions regarding color or a custom paint scheme you'd like to try on a Strat, feel free to suggest them to me and I'll include as many as I can on the next video.

    What's the point?

    Like my women, I prefer guitars I can "hook up" with.

    As of now, this is the only way I can have "my own" 62 Strat.

    If it is all rendered digitally, then the sky is the limit. You can model a '58 Telecaster or a '63 Gibson Firebird. Heck you could show what a Tele neck would look like on a Firebird body.
    Personally, I'd like to see a 1957 Strat with a metallic 2 tone yellow into brown sunburst

    I always wanted a '57 Strat but I could never find the "right" one so I built it myself......



    Same with the tweed 5E3 Deluxe Amp as shown.
