Prices have started going crazy on these prime quality, early nineties Japanese Strat reissues, but we’ve kept this one down as low as possible, with our consignment customer’s desire for a quick sale.
Lively and responsive
The revered tone of these MIJ models comes with a huge saving – you can pay three to four times more for a US-built ’62 reissue – which might not sound nearly as authentic. You can hear just how versatile, how lively and responsive this guitar is in our soundfile – click on the PLAY button, over there to the right >>
A really, really good one!
A year or two after the instruments produced in 1993/94, the whole Japanese reissue range was downgraded, with almost universally cheaper components – even the paintwork suffered – however, as one of the last of the good ones, this is a really good good one! The guitar has been professionally owned and played since new, (thus the absent backplate), yet is still in astonishingly fine condition, with barely a mark to be found anywhere.
Perfect
The frets are perfect, the board is perfect, the paintwork may have one pinhead-size ding somewhere, and you might spot some light playwear on the scratchplate. That’s it! We venture to suggest that there are stores around that would have no qualms in hanging this on the wall and calling it a display or demo model. It really is that clean.
Shell Pink
And let’s not forget – it’s Shell Pink, not just one of Fender’s sexiest colors, but one of their most elusive. The vintage-tint scratchplate and the aged pickup covers contrast perfectly against the paintwork, as does the period-correct “slab” Rosewood fingerboard.
Deluxe Fender hard case
Alder body; proper non-skunk-stripe Maple neck; proper staggered-height pickup pole-pieces; proper six-point tremolo bridge, with proper bent steel saddles; vintage-correct Kluson style tuners; vintage-correct single string-tree. The only thing not vintage correct is the recent addition of a deluxe Fender TSA-lock hard case!
A complete winner
Rare color, pro-owned, impeccably kept, deluxe hard case, plus FREE COURIER DELIVERY to any address in Australia – any way you want to look at it, this guitar is a complete winner.
