Tone-saver treble-bleed circuit
The master volume is designed to preserve high-end clarity when turned down.


Independent shopping perspective
The 62 Stratocaster Relic pairs three Custom Shop hand-wound Fat '60s single-coil pickups with five-way blade switching for familiar Strat pickup combinations. Its master volume incorporates a tone-saver treble-bleed circuit, intended to retain high-end clarity as you lower the volume. The build combines a two-piece offset-seam select alder body, maple neck, and 3A rosewood fingerboard, with 21 Jescar vintage frets. A Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo provides vibrato control, and the relic treatment completes the aged Seminole red presentation.
