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 Stevie Ray Vaughan-style '62 Reissue Stratocaster. These are the specs:

| Condition |
| This is a 2002-2004 Crafted
in Japan 'Q' serial. Condition is superb, I could
only find one tint mark on the bottom edge to photograph... yes,
it is almost invisible. Hardware is in excellent condition and all
controls work smoothly and without noise. There is very little
fret wear.
When a guitar is as good as this
there is very little one can say!
The lockable hardcase (key
included) is by Kinsman and is both sturdy and in excellent condition.

Comments |
| This was one of Fender
Japan's most expensive models and is their take on the US-made SRV
signature model, but you don;t have to be a fan of Stevie Ray
Vaughan to appreciate the guitar.
Acoustically there is plenty of
resonance and sustain. Plugged in and you have the same and more.
The US-made Texas Special pickups are superb whether used clean or
driven and you'll get no closer to the Stevie Ray Vaughan sound.
This guitar comes with a steel tremolo block for that little extra
'sizzle'.. A new set of 10s has been fitted and it plays very well
indeed.
This guitar looks gorgeous and
plays beautifully.
