2002/'04 Fender Japan Stratocaster ST62-70TX, CIJ, Old Lake Placid Blue

Model Overview:

Since the early 80's infamous 'JV' models, Japan has had a reputation for building some of the best vintage spec Stratocaster reissues around. Early 60's custom colour Stratocasters have become some of the most collectable guitars around, making them unattainable for the majority of players. This Fender Japan ST62 Stratocaster offers period correct vintage features and looks for an affordable price.

This 2002 - 2004 Fender Japan ST62 Stratocaster is a higher spec than some other Japanese Strats of this period, as indicated by its '70TX' suffix. Featuring a traditional Alder body with a Maple neck and slab Rosewood fingerboad, this guitar features a comfortable 1960's style 'C' neck profile, feeling familiar and easy to get around for all players. The three single coil pickups are upgraded Fender Texas Specials, offering a hotter, more bluesy and vintage voiced output than traditional Japanese Stratocaster models. As with all Fender Japan models, this guitar is finished exceptionally, with an Lake Placid Blue finish that looks authentically vintage. Other features include a three ply mint green pick guard, Kluson style tuners and a synchronised tremolo.

Condition / Originality:

This guitar is in excellent conditionand is both internally and externally original. There is very little cosmetic play wear to the instrument, with the frets in good condition and the electronics all working perfectly. This guitar also includes a gig bag.
