2008 Fender DiMarzio Collection Stratocaster '62 Vintage Reissue ST62-DMC Candy Apple Red, Japan CIJ

Up for sale, a 2008 Fender DiMarzio Collection Stratocaster '62 vintage reissue model ST62-DMC in near-mint, 100% original and in perfect working order. Crafted at the Dyna Gakki factory exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and select international territories, this Stratocaster model is rarely seen outside its country of origin, featuring a trio of Dimarzio Full Range Impact DCS-3 pickups and a gloss Old Candy Apple Red finish.

The Dimarzio Full Range Impact DCS-3 single coils feature ceramic magnet construction and staggered pole pieces, producing ample single coil snap and shimmer. The bridge pickup is sparkling and cutting, the neck pickup delivers bold, powerful tonalities, and there’s plenty of quintessential hollow Strat quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way switch. This Stratocaster ST62-DMC weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
