Just check this thing out! GLAS custom 1962 relic in Olympic white at a super-light 7.4 lbs, it feels every bit as good as it looks. Finished in beautifully aged Olympic White with a dark rosewood fingerboard and parchment plastics throughout, this Glas Customs Golden Era build takes its cues from the iconic Stratocasters of 1962. It has the unmistakable snap, warmth and broken-in feel of a great pre-CBS Strat, built entirely from brand-new premium components for dependable stage and studio use.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"982\"\u003eEvery Glas Golden Era build begins with genuine Fender components before being carefully upgraded with premium boutique hardware and electronics where we believe they outperform the originals. Each instrument is built completely by hand in Los Angeles over approximately four to six months, with every detail individually relic’d, checked, assembled, wired and professionally set up before leaving our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003eBuilt around a lightweight alder body, this Strat weighs in at an exceptionally light 7.4 lbs and feels beautifully balanced whether standing or sitting. The Olympic White nitro finish features authentic checking, subtle yellowing and natural-looking wear throughout, giving it the character of a guitar that has spent decades on stages while remaining structurally brand new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eAs with every Golden Era build, the finish has been extensively UV bombed to accelerate the natural aging process, deepen the color, promote checking and create the subtle ambering associated with decades-old nitro. The result is a finish that looks aged rather than artificially distressed, with its own unique character from top to bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1898\"\u003eThe genuine Fender neck features a dark rosewood fingerboard, period-correct early-’60s decal and our signature Glas branded neck plate, complete with its own unique Glas Guitars serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1900\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003eLike every Golden Era build, the neck pocket is exceptionally tight, maximizing vibration transfer between the neck and body for excellent resonance and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2445\"\u003eThe neck has a full-feeling ’60s U\/C profile, 7.25\" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage frets. The rosewood fingerboard edges have been hand rolled, the nut has been hand finished, and the frets have been professionally dressed and polished. The result is a neck that feels comfortably broken-in from the first chord while retaining the unmistakable feel of a proper early-’60s Strat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2447\" data-end=\"2500\"\u003eElectronics are where this guitar really comes alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2502\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003eLoaded with a boutique set of hand-wound Arcane Inc. ’62 pickups, these recreate the bell-like clarity, woody midrange and slightly fuller response associated with the finest early-’60s Stratocasters. Expect glassy neck tones, hollow and expressive in-between positions, and a bridge pickup with the bite, definition and harmonic detail needed to cut through a full band mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2879\" data-end=\"2940\"\u003eThey’re paired with premium components throughout, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2942\" data-end=\"3197\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hibfdu\" data-start=\"2942\" data-end=\"2975\"\u003eCTS matched 450G potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ohemul\" data-start=\"2976\" data-end=\"3003\"\u003eFull vintage cloth wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1mju7os\" data-start=\"3004\" data-end=\"3034\"\u003e5-way pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"10mcmax\" data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3069\"\u003eTreble tone control modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"17jduad\" data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3103\"\u003eTonePros four-point output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1j7f77k\" data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3149\"\u003ePeriod-correct 0.1μF paper-in-oil capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xdxw7c\" data-start=\"3150\" data-end=\"3197\"\u003eWired throughout using genuine vintage solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3199\" data-end=\"3396\"\u003eThe treble tone control modification extends useful tone control across the bridge pickup, giving you greater control over the sharpest Strat tones while preserving the traditional layout and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3398\" data-end=\"3590\"\u003eEvery connection is carefully soldered, inspected and tested by hand before final assembly, ensuring exceptional reliability while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3592\" data-end=\"3884\"\u003eThe chrome hardware has been tastefully relic’d throughout, while the vintage-spec 56mm synchronized tremolo has been professionally decked flat using three springs for improved tuning stability, sustain and a solid feel under the picking hand.
