For sale is a 1991 Fender “ExTrad” Stratocaster ‘54 vintage reissue model ST54-140 in very good condition and in perfect working order. The ExTrad model is considered the top tier of Fender Japan that was being produced at the Fujigen factory at the time. These guitars are very well built and are becoming exceedingly hard to find in the US market.

This particular ExTrad '54 Stratocaster is in very good condition for being 35 years old with a few minor dents and some scuffing/muting in the gloss lacquer finish (you can see it in the pics). It is finished in two-tone sunburst and nitro lacquer. The body wood is ash and it is paired with a one-piece flame maple neck. The trio of pickups are the original Fender USA black bobbin single coils (the same pickups seen in the American Vintage line and early USA Custom Shop Strats) with staggered alnico magnets and cloth-covered leads. The guitar weighs 7lbs 12oz, was recently professionally set up, and comes dressed with 10-46 strings. A Fender gig bag is included.
