| Condition |
| This is a 2002-2004 Crafted
in Japan 'Q' serial. It is in excellent condition although
there are a few tiny dings around the edges. Click on the
thumbnails 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 Paisley finish Strat is one of
the few models Fender Japan was allowed to export and, along with
the similar-finish Tele, has something of a cult following both
here and in Japan where they commands a premium prices on the used
market.

Comments |
| Acoustically there is
plenty of resonance and sustain. Basswood is similar to alder in
terms of grain structure and acoustic response. The pickups in
this model (both here and in Japan) are Japanese made. While
lacking the personality (or price!) of Texas Specials, they
produce a good, clean Strat sound and are happy to be driven..
The action is good and easy; a new
set of 9-46 hybrid strings has been fitted and the guitar plays
cleanly and easily right up the neck.
You'll stand out from the crowd
with this one!
