Apart from a handful of models (which are
unique to Japan and therefore would not interfere with sales of US or
Mexican models) Fender Japan are prevented from officially exporting to
Europe or the US. What is made in Japan stays in Japan. This is what we
are missing out on.....a '62 Reissue Stratocaster in Old Lake Placid
Blue. These are the specs:

| Condition |
| This is a 2007-2008 Crafted
in Japan 'T' serial. It is in superb condition with
only a small abrasion on the back of the top horn. Click on the thumbnail above
for a close-up. There
is very little fret wear, the hardware is in good condition and all controls work smoothly and without crackle.
The tortoise pick guard (original) against the
Old Lake Placid Blue finish is particularly effective in my view, giving
it a real vintage vibe.
This instrument appears to have
been well looked after and comes with original paperwork and a
superior padded Fender gigbag..

Comments |
| Acoustically there is plenty of
resonance and sustain. Plug in and all the same qualities are evident.
Texas Specials really deliver whether you're playing clean or
dirty and at low or high volume.
The action is good and easy and the guitar plays cleanly and easily right up the neck.
The sound is typical '62, warm but responsive. This instrument is
a real pleasure to both play and look at! Highly
recommended.
