I had to tweak the truss rod a bit to adjust the relief to my tastes. after removing the neck I had to mention how tight this neck joint is. even with the screws completely out it wants to stay in there. there is not a drop of paint inside the pocket and no side to side movement at all. everything is perfect and its the finest built strat I have ever laid my hands on. I am very very impressed with this one it and is built like a tank!

again I highly recommend this model to anyone looking for Panzer with a thick neck

Yeah I've got to agree, my 62HR is the nicest built Strat I've been lucky enough to own also. I played a couple of Custom Shop Strats in the lead-up to purchasing the 62HR and it impressed me as actually on par if not better than any of those.

Kudos to the line workers at Fender for putting together such a beautiful off-the-shelf instrument.

this guitar is defiantly going to be one that gets passed down to my children one day. my wife knows jack squat about guitars (because she just pretends to listen to shut me up) but when she picked it up to move it she said "this one feels really well made" she has never said anything other than "thats a pretty color" before now although the only guitar she has held for more than an hour prior to this is the hello kitty strat she couldn't live without. but the quality was such a huge difference she noticed just lifting it

it just makes me happy

fender definitely did an excellent job with this one.
