Up for sale, a 1989 Fender Stratocaster ‘57 vintage reissue model ST57-55 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Stratocaster was crafted at the Fujigen factory for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside of its country of origin.

The trio of single coil pickups feature Alnico magnet construction, and these pickups deliver a bevy of classic Strat tonalities: the neck is round and bell-like, and the bridge pickup provides sparkling cut, with thinned-out cut in the "in-between" positions on the five-way switch. This ST57-55 weighs only 6lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
