This early “Made in Japan” Strat was produced at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, uncommon outside its country of origin. A highly desirable top-tier model, this Stratocaster easily rivaled USA production with premium, vintage-accurate touches including a nitro lacquer Sunburst finish, USA-made pickups, CTS pots, and a steel vibrato block.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTraditional tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece flame maple neck, and this Strat has a balanced, lively natural acoustic quality. Featuring the same 57\/62 black bobbin pickups seen in the early American Vintage models, these pickups feature staggered unbeveled alnico magnets and push-back cloth-covered leads. Via the three-way pickup selector, this Strat delivers a sweet sparkle at the bridge and a notably smooth treble response. There’s a woody chop on tap from the middle pickup with a fat, bell-like quality to the neck position. Weighing 7lbs 12oz, this ST57-115 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Flame maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C (verging on soft V), measuring .845” 1st fret, .955” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Maple, vintage-spec 7 ¼” radius, small chip in gloss beyond fret 21\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” E-prefix\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Model stamps on neck heel\/pocket, small blue “115” sticker on neckplate denotes model tier and price (¥115,000)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: American Vintage 57\/62 x3\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to ‘86 and ‘87\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Synchronized Tremolo with steel block, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: One-ply white pickguard, yellowed knobs\/pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss two-tone Sunburst nitro lacquer finish exhibits some light texturing in the clear coat on the body horns, and a couple spots of stand-related wear through the gloss along the lower bout edge.
