I love both the 62 and the 57 but i cant decide which one to buy, just wondering what everybody else thinks.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
Almond Joy's got nuts
Mounds don't.

How can I decide?

I own both rosewood and maple fretboard stratocasters and have grown more comfortable playing with the rosewood.

the '62 for the neck, though I'd rather have the CS '69s pups they put in the MIM Classic Player 60's Strat

The '57 is somewhat appealing to me since the blonde finish is on an ash body and by now I have two alder strats

Hello Fruciante_power,

The '57 is a great axe,

but

That '62 has one heck of a neck
my olympic white has become my #1.
but I do like the Sherwood green better.

Cheers.

I'm currently (rather slowly) building a guitar that will be a 57 neck on a 62 body. So if ever there was a case for that "both" button...

Cheers - C

I'd favor the '62 since I'm a rosewood guy. I love my '62 but have never played a '57 so I can't really comment on it. I wouldn't mind owning one though.

I like both, but if I was in the market to buy one today I would buy the 57 if I could get it in Surf Green.. That color is getting harder to find on the 57.
