This is a Fender Japan STR-135RS Stratocaster in Cherry Red Sunburst.
The serial number is “Made in Japan” followed by “U” + 6 digits, dating it to 1995–1996. As many players know, this is the Richie Sambora model, associated with the former Bon Jovi guitarist.
It features “RS-Special” pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a DiMarzio PAF-PRO in the bridge position.
Another notable feature is the control layout: 1 volume, tone for the neck & middle pickups, and TBX control for the bridge pickup.
This model does not come up very often, and this one still includes valuable original paperwork from the time, including the warranty card. If you have been looking for one, please do not miss this opportunity!
