Number 1: 1962 Fender Stratocaster Pre - CBS

The 1962 Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar is known as the "transitional" model due to its features bridging the gap between early '60s and late '50s versions. It introduced a rosewood fretboard, replacing the previous maple necks, providing a smoother playing experience. This model also marked the switch to a three-ply white pickguard instead of the single-ply version used in the previous years. The '62 Stratocaster's alder body and versatile pickup configuration contributed to its iconic and sought-after tone. Vintage enthusiasts highly value this guitar for its historical significance and unique sonic characteristics.
