1986 Squier by Fender Japan Stratocaster! Click any picture for supersize view! Great Japanese made quality and attention to detail! These early Squier Strats are well known for their workmanship and great tone. The body is basswood I believe but could be alder. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a maple fingerboard with dot inlays. A trio of single coil pickups are hooked to a traditional 5 way switch. Sealed Gotoh tuners and a vintage style trem keep it rock solid. The finish is classic white for a cool Hendrix vibe. A really great guitar for the bucks! Like most Japanese guitars of this period, this Squier plays and sounds great. The neck is straight, the action is low and the frets have some life left in them. The pickups deliver classic Strat tone. A nice guitar. Condition wise, this would be a fine guitar for a player. In VG condition, it shows moderate pick, clearcoat and belt scratches as well as some chips, dents and dings and hardware corrosion. Fine for a player. Comes in a gigbag. Japanese Fenders have become quite popular in recent years. For good reason: they are great guitars for the bucks. This Squier is no exception. Nice quality, feel and tone. Quintessential Strat tone and feel. BUY IT NOW and own a great guitar! ST#SG7X5/MIJXE61X3894X100416 Learn more at Shelton's Guitars is an online business.
