1985 Fender HH Contemporary Stratocaster Torino Red w/ System One 1 Locking Trem, TBX Tone Control, Padded Gigbag

For sale, we have this Fender Contemporary Stratocaster featuring a System One Tremolo, a Made in Japan masterpiece that combines classic style with modern versatility. Dressed in a striking Torino Red finish, this Stratocaster is sure to capture attention on any stage. The double locking tremolo system, akin to the Floyd Rose, ensures rock-solid tuning stability even with the wildest dive bombs and flutters. This guitar is built to handle anything you throw at it, making it perfect for both high-octane solos and smooth, expressive rhythm playing.

This Stratocaster features dual humbucker (HH) pickups, delivering a hard-hitting sound that’s perfect for rock, metal, and beyond. The TBX tone control offers precise tone shaping, allowing you to dial in everything from bright, cutting leads to warm, full-bodied chords. The slim, black-painted neck is designed for speed and comfort, making it ideal for fast solos while still providing the substantial feel needed for solid rhythm parts. With a medium C profile and a depth ranging from 0.830” to 0.920”, the neck fits comfortably in your hand, allowing for hours of effortless playing.

The guitar’s specifications are carefully designed to enhance playability and sound. The 25.5” scale length and 12” fretboard radius provide a familiar, comfortable playing surface, while the 1-5/8” nut width and 2” bridge spacing ensure precise string control. With 22 frets, you have ample range for all your musical explorations. Weighing in at 7 lbs 14 oz, this guitar is light enough for long performances yet solid enough to deliver powerful, sustained tones.

Every instrument sold at Tone House Studios undergoes a meticulous professional setup to ensure top-tier playability and sound. Our process includes a thorough cleaning, and ensuring the frets are in perfect condition through leveling, crowning, and polishing as needed. The fingerboard is cleaned and oiled, and the guitar is restrung and tuned to pitch with precise neck relief, action, and intonation settings. Each fret is played to check for buzz and adjusted accordingly, while the electronics are thoroughly tested and cleaned, with pots and jacks tightened and pickups balanced for optimal performance. This Fender System 1 Stratocaster is not just an instrument, it’s a gateway to your next musical adventure.
