tom1946 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) This is my Fender Strat, crafted in Japan around 2005/6. I have to sell all of my guitars now because I can't play any more due to arthritis. This is in outstanding, unmarked condition, not a mark or blemish anywhere I can see. There is no fretwear either. Specification: Body Ash Neck Maple one piece, Soft V profile, 324mm Scale Fretboard Maple, 184mm/7.25in Radius Frets 21, Vintage Style Nut Width 42mm Pickups Custom Shop 50s (U.S.A.) x3 Control&Switch 1 Vol, 2 Tone, 5 Way Switch Bridge Steel block Vintage Machine Heads Kluson style Hardware Chrome Pickguard 1-Ply White Ash is a wonderful tone-wood and this guitar has a nice, lively, well defined acoustic tone and resonance. Plugged in the sound is pure vintage Strat; clear as a bell with that wonderful 'out of phase' type tone in positions 2 and 4. This guitar has Fender US Custom Shop 50s pups - you won't get closer to the classic early-Strat sound - the pickups are superb. This guitar also comes with a steel tremolo block, which adds that little extra zing and sustain. This is my absolute favourite of the maple fret board Strats. It is a model they do not make any more... unfortunately. Here you have classic Strat style and sound, superb condition and at a very reasonable price bearing in mind that the US Custom Shop version would cost at least twice the amount! I want £550 for this. It's what I paid for it and it's been hardly used. There is no case with it but it will be in a gigbag and packed very securely. Delivery £20.

Golchen Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have a MIJ strat and it is superb. Plays better than the two American ones that I've owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
