Fender Japan stratocaster ST57-65 Vintage Reissue
This is a Fender Japan ST57 (1957) Stratocaster vintage reissue. Just in case you are unfamiliar with Fender Japan (made in Japan MIJ or crafted in Japan CIJ ), these guitars are known for the superb craftsmanship and quality. In fact, many guitar players, even professionals prefer these guitars over some US made counterparts. Since these Japanese made Fenders are not allowed in US (new), in recent years, these guitars are becoming harder to find, especially the older ones such as this one.Condition: This is a Fender Japan Stratocaster ST57-65 Vintage reissue. This is one of the early examples of the Fender JV guitars. The neck date is 2-7-83. The serial number is JV35967. It has the JV correct large Fender logo with MADE IN JAPAN on the head. There is a "C" stamp in the neck pocket.It has a very straight (for 57) C-shape neck with a minimal frets wear. The pickup are US made, and the pots are Japanese made.This guitar has some small dents and scratches on the body, some metal parts show some aging and the poly finish has some crack lines (please see the pictures). The cracks only appear on the finish, not the wood. This guitar sounds as one would expect from a typical JV series Stratocaster; very vintage like. After all, this is why these guitars became so popular all over the world! It has the signature Strat sound but not too bright like newer ones; it has that mild suppressed twang to it - closer to the real vintage. Well, one thing for sure is - my writing skill doesn't do justice to the sound of this guitar!!Lastly, this guitar is not in a mint condition for a museum piece. It has been played and should be played. The guitar weighs 7 Lbs 6 oz. (3.3kg) It comes with a gig bag and a strap (Non Fender).Shipping : $55 for domestic shipping by USPS priority mail.
