Description

This Fender Stratocaster, crafted in Japan between 1984 and 1987, has a unique blend of vintage charm and modifications that make it a standout instrument for players seeking cool character and versatility.

One of the most striking features of this Stratocaster is its aged appearance. The yellowed pickup covers, worn fingerboard, and removed string tree give it some vintage mojo that add to the instrument's visual appeal.

Beyond its looks, this Stratocaster offers a range of practical features. The Gotoh machine heads provide smooth tuning stability, even after aggressive whammy bar use. The heavily dressed-down frets still offer years of life for rhythm players, although they may require replacement for lead players seeking pristine fretwork. The 3-way switching configuration, combined with individual tone controls for the neck and middle pickups, allows for a good range of vintage tonal possibilities.

While the bridge saddles show signs of wear, the removal of the middle four bridge screws results in a trem akin to a two-post system, that holds tune surprisingly well.

The pickups on this Stratocaster deliver a powerful and versatile tone, making it well-suited for blues and rock genres. Their character and responsiveness complement the instrument's overall aesthetic and playing experience.

In conclusion, this Japanese-made Fender Stratocaster is a captivating instrument that offers a unique blend of vintage charm and killer sounds. Its distinctive aesthetic, reminiscent of David Gilmour's iconic guitar, versatile tones, and solid construction make it an excellent choice for players seeking a characterful and affordable workhorse guitar.
