This specialized left-handed instrument is a beautifully aged example of a 1962 reissue Stratocaster, showcasing a gorgeous Vintage White finish that has mellowed into a rich, creamy yellow patina over time. Built during the highly regarded mid-2000s era of Japanese production, this guitar perfectly captures the classic aesthetic and tactile feel of a golden-era pre-CBS icon. It features a solid contoured body paired with a maple neck and a historically accurate, dark slab rosewood fingerboard sporting a period-correct 7.25-inch radius and vintage-style frets.

The voice of this instrument is driven by three original Fender Japan ST-Vintage single-coil pickups, delivering all the classic mid-focused snap, bell-like top end, and woodiness expected from a premium vintage-spec reissue. Hardware includes a six-saddle synchronized tremolo bridge alongside vintage split-shaft Kluson-style tuning machines that provide stable tuning performance and historical visual accuracy.

True to its playing history, this guitar shows direct evidence of character and honest wear, highlighted by a notable finish gash on the side contour that reveals the wood underneath alongside minor light surface scuffs. The structural stability is absolutely flawless, the neck profile is perfectly straight, and the original frets show almost no visible wear, ensuring a pristine canvas for your playing. The guitar has been fully cleaned, restrung, and dialed in for immediate action, and it ships in a padded Fender factory soft case. Please note the plastic rear tremolo backplate is not present.
