Anderson Strider ST70 Vintage S-Style Guitar White 100% Original, Japan","description":"Up for sale, a 1977 H.S. Anderson Strider model ST70 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. The H.S. stands for Mr. Hidesato Shiino, the “Japanese Leo Fender,” a critical figure in the Japanese guitar world who would go on to start ESP and had involvement in brands including Greco and Fernandes. The brand is most associated with the T-style “Mad Cat” model HS-1 played extensively by Prince, with each instrument purportedly handmade by one of only a select few craftsmen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighing 8lbs 10oz, tonewoods include a white ash body with a one-piece birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, yielding plenty of note attack and sweet sustain. The original trio of single coil pickups is sparkly and spanky with a tight low end, notably robust midrange, and shimmering highs. The bridge has a more aggressive bite, and the neck is bell-like and round. This ST70 has been professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Birdseye maple\u003cbr\u003e- Shape: Slender C, measuring .820” 1st fret, .925” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e- Fretboard: Maple, 7 1\/4“ radius\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e- Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e- Nut: 1 5\/8”\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Schaller\u003cbr\u003e- Serialization: Stamp on peghead dates to September, 1977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: White ash\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Single coil x3\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e- Harness: Untouched solder, Noble 250k pots\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Strat-style tremolo with block saddles, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e- Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard, yellowed pickup covers, knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss White finish exhibits yellowing of the clear coat, with some small dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole.
