Up for sale, a Fender Stratocaster partscaster, pairing a 1987 Fender Japan '57 Stratocaster neck and a loaded 1989 Fender Japan '62 Stratocaster body. An honestly played and professionally setup Strat with components crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan, this instrument has also been upgraded with a set of Fender USA Pure Vintage 57/62 pickups.
This Strat has an alder body paired with a one-piece maple neck, offering a resonant natural acoustic quality that translates well through the pickups. The upgraded Pure Vintage 57/62 single coil pickups have beveled, staggered alnico magnets, black fiber bobbins and cloth covered leads, faithfully replicating the hallmarks of Fender's Pre-CBS pickups from the 1950s and '60s. The bridge pickup has plenty of sparkling cut and chime, with quack and snappy cut in the "in-between" positions on the five-way switch, while the neck pickup has a sweet, bell-like quality. The guitar weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with low action, accurate intonation and fresh 10-46 strings.

The three-tone Sunburst gloss finish is accurate to early '60s spec, with various nicks and scuffs on the body as a whole, most notably on the back lower body edge and behind the bridge on top. There is also one finish chip of note adjacent to the input jack. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile exhibits only a couple shallow marks central to the carve behind fret 4.
