Up for sale, a 1986 Fender Boxer Series Stratocaster model SF-451 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Built in Japan at the famed Fujigen factory during the golden era of Fender Japan production, the SF-451 is among the rarest Strats produced during the original Boxer series run in the mid 1980s. Perfectly tailored to the "Superstrat" crowd, it boasts an SSH pickup array, a 22 fret slab rosewood fingerboard with super jumbo fretwire and a 12" radius, and a genuine USA-made Kahler Fulcrum tremolo and corresponding locking nut.
Acoustically, this guitar has a smooth, neutral quality with excellent treble cut, qualities that translate well through the pickups, and the guitar has plenty of articulation and snap on tap via Fender Japan's Hot Rod alnico magnet single coils in the neck and middle positions. The bridge position Dragster humbucker has a punchy roar, with a factory coil tap mini toggle for single coil spank. This guitar weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikes Guitar Bar with low action, spot-on intonation, and 10-46 strings.

There's some yellowing in the clear coat of the gloss on the Snow White finish, most prominent on the back, and a subtle tan line from a removed sticker on top just below the Kahler. Extremely well-kept, cosmetic wear is limited to just a handful of minor dings on the body as a whole, largely concentrated on the back and lower bout body edge. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile has been buffed to a semi-gloss through play.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
