FOR SALE - Fender Japan '62 Stratocaster
NEW (display use only), Non-Export,
US Texas Special Pickups,  Superb Condition

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. This is one, a '62 Strat in Shell Pink. These are the specs:

Specification

Body Alder
Neck Maple one piece, Bound, Oval Shape, 324mm Scale
Fretboard Rosewood, 184mm/7.25in Radius
Frets 21, Vintage Style
Nut Width 42mm
Pickups Texas Special US-made
Control&Switch 1 Vol, 2 Tone, 5 Way Switch Aged
Bridge Diecast Block S5D Vintage
Machine Heads Kluson Style
Hardware Chrome 
Pickguard 3-Ply White (aged)
Condition

This is a Made in Japan 2008-2009 'T' serial (Fender Japan have reverted to using Made in rather than Crafted in Japan on their latest instruments). It is actually a new instrument and condition is absolutely superb. Unlike most of my stock, this guitar came new from a Japanese dealership where it had only been used for display. There isn't a mark on it. Of course the pickguard protective film is still in place.

There is no fret wear and all controls work smoothly and without noise. It comes with Japanese manual, an allen key and a superior padded Fender gigbag.

Comments

Acoustically there is plenty of resonance and sustain. Plug in and all the same qualities are evident. The US-made Texas Special pickups are superb whether used clean or driven. A new set of hybrid 9s has been fitted and the guitar plays superbly.

Here you have a new guitar, in a distinctive (but period-correct) colour, of high specification but at a used guitar price. Very highly recommended. 

Price including gigbag: £570.00
