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 one... a '62 Reissue Stratocaster. These are the specs:

Specification

Body Alder
Neck Maple, U Profile, 324mm Scale
Fretboard Rosewood, 184mm/7.25in Radius
Frets 21, Vintage Style
Nut Width 42mm
Pickups Texas Special (U.S.A.)x3
Control&Switch 1 Vol, 2 Tone, 5 Way Switch - aged
Bridge Diecast Block S5D Vintage
Machine Heads Kluson style
Hardware Chrome
Pickguard Three-Ply White aged
Condition
This is an 1999-2002 Crafted in Japan 'P' serial. It is in excellent condition. There are a few tiny little marks, which I've attempted to photograph, but they are very difficult to see. Check the pics above Fret wear and all controls work smoothly and without noise. 

This is yet another guitar that seems not to have been used very much.

Comments

The acoustic properties of alder impart a lovely tone and resonance and this guitar has bags of sustain. Plug in and all the same qualities are evident. The US-made Texas Specials really deliver whether you're playing clean or dirty and at low or high volume. 

A new set of 9s has been fitted and the action on this guitar is as comfortable as a pair of old shoes.

Classic good looks, superb sound and condition... you can''t go wrong with a sunburst '62.

Price including gigbag: £465.00
