1980s Fender Japan E-Series Stratocaster – Made in Japan

For sale is a vintage Fender Japan E-Series Stratocaster, serial number E784753, dating to approximately 1984–1987.

This guitar features a beautiful aged white finish, a large 1960s-style headstock with a transition-style Fender logo, and a maple neck with what appears to be a maple cap fingerboard.

Based on its specifications, it appears to be a late-1960s-style reissue, possibly an ST67-series model. However, the exact model designation has not been verified.

Features:

• Made in Japan (MIJ), E-Series
• Serial Number: E784753
• Approximately 1984–1987
• Aged White / Olympic White-style finish
• Large 1960s-style headstock
• Maple neck and fingerboard
• 4-bolt neck joint
• Three single-coil pickups
• Vintage-style tremolo bridge
• All components believed to be original

Condition:

The guitar is approximately 40 years old and shows considerable cosmetic wear, including numerous scratches, dings, finish chips, and signs of aging throughout the body and neck.

There is a visible crack near the neck pocket that appears to be a finish crack.

The fretboard and frets show signs of use, and there is a slight difference in the spacing between the outer strings and the fretboard edges, as shown in the photos. I do not consider this to be a defect, as it does not significantly affect normal playability.

I have not experienced any string slipping off the fretboard during normal playing.

High E and B strings occasionally fret out during bends around the 12th fret. A setup or fret adjustment may be needed.

The guitar remains playable and has not been professionally inspected or serviced recently.

The rear tremolo cavity cover and arm are missing.

Please carefully examine all photographs for an accurate representation of the guitar’s cosmetic condition.

Included:

• Fender Japan E-Series Stratocaster
• Soft gig bag
