Fender Made in Japan ST54 Stratocaster 1954 Reissue

Description

Dating from 1996 this Japanese Fender is getting dangerously close to being three decades old! This one remains in extremely tidy condition for the year and while it’s certainly been played it’s easily got another thirty years left in it yet. The quality of these mid-late 90s Japanese Fenders is superb and this one has been enhanced with some hand wound Radio Shop pickups. It also has the addition of a genuine Fender hard case making this a complete package. These reissues feature the period correct thin frets and 7.25 radius. With its mid 50s neck profile this Strat captures the 50s feel nicely. As with all things Japanese these guitars are rising in value.
