Fender Made In Japan Traditional '50s Stratocaster, 2 Colour Sunburst Overview
This Fender MIJ (Made in Japan) Traditional ‘50s Stratocaster is presented in a classic 2-Colour Sunburst finish with Maple fretboard. This guitar combines the look and sound of the Strat’s first production decade with a versatile 9.5” fretboard radius, ensuring approachable playability. Compulsive build quality and attention to detail - present on all Fender’s Japanese-made guitars - makes this model a highly desirable proposition. Supplied in a Fender Gig Bag.
This guitar’s foundation is an American Basswood body, imbuing it with a lightness and musicality which suits the Strat perfectly. To this is bolted a “U”-Shape Maple neck, topped with a 9.5”-radius Maple fretboard for intuitive playability. The three Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat pickups provide period-correct tones, controlled via a 5-way selector switch.
A 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo has been fitted, allowing the full array of classic Strat whammy bar techniques, while the looks are straight out of the period too: the gloss 2-Colour Sunburst finish has been painstakingly applied, matching perfectly with the single-ply Eggshell pickguard.
