Fender MIJ '68 Stratocaster Reissue – 1998 Natural Finish w/ Tweed Case
This 1998 Made-in-Japan Fender '68 Stratocaster Reissue is a fantastic blend of vintage style and tasteful upgrades. Finished in a natural gloss and loaded with handpicked pickups, it delivers serious tonal flexibility with a classic feel.
Pickups have been upgraded to a killer combo:
- Neck: Fender Custom Shop '69
- Middle: Fender Pure Vintage '59
- Bridge: Fender Texas Special
The result? A dynamic and responsive Strat that covers everything from glassy bell tones to fat, punchy drive. It’s a very sweet player with honest signs of use — surface wear, minor dings, and signs of play — but nothing structural. Neck is slim and plays super fast. Frets are in great shape and the whole guitar has just been set up by our techs. Includes a nicely worn tweed case.
