1962 Fender VI – Roman Red

Well Strung Guitars

Description

This 1962 Fender VI is pictured in its original and rare Roman Red finish with a matching headstock! This specially ordered color was used from about 1959-62. We have had quite a few Fenders in this color come through our store. It is lighter and brighter in hue than Dakota Red but still darker than Fiesta Red. This was a Corvette color, also available during the same years. This beauty is set up with flats to help bring out this bass’s amazing mid and low tones. Overall, there is some playwear here and there, but this bass remains wholly original with a great sound and look! 


Overall Condition:  7.5, neckwear and general body wear bring this a couple of clicks from a perfect 10
