I've been collecting these vintage Japanese masterpieces for over 15 years, and I've sold off the ones that weren't immaculate or "worthy" of my collection. I've had some expenses come up that are forcing me to thin out my personal collection and this is one of them. One of the ones I swore I'd never sell but here we are. If you check out previous listings of similar guitars you'll see that finding one in this condition is nearly impossible / very rare. Because these things were made for shredders and that's what most of them were used for. But sometimes you're lucky enough to come across a 40 year old relic that looks like it's barely been touched. That's what you're seeing here.

*This particular finish is sought after because it turns a shade of green as it ages, similar to the Silver Burst Les Paul like the one Adam Jones from Tool plays*

I collected these for a few reasons, but the main one is the humbucker. I actually did a comparison in pro tools between this guitar's humbucker and a PRS metal, Gibson PAF, Seymour Duncan JB, and one other one I can't remember. I did a blind taste test with myself and a few other fellow guitar enthusiasts, and this one won hands down. It really is a sleeper, if more people knew how good these pickups were these guitars would become the newest hot commodity.

One of the other reasons I collected them is the playability. You'll hear that feedback from every single review on youtube or otherwise, "this guitar just plays so well, the neck is so fast even though it's lacquered", etc. And it's true, and this one here is no exception.

It's not in NOS condition but it's darn close, use the pics to get the best idea of what to expect. These are getting more popular and harder to find, as these become truly vintage pieces and are a major part of Fender history (these Japanese Fenders kept the company going during the mid 80s transition when nearly all American Fender manufacture halted during the ownership transition).

Honestly the more I type the less I want to sell this, so I'm going to stop here. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
