Out Of Stock
Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Pro Feel Series Stratocaster model STR-850LS in excellent, 100% original condition, finished in custom color Light Amber Sunburst. Part of the short-lived, upper-tiered Pro-Feel series, this rare “Made in Japan” model was produced at the Fujigen factory and designed only to be sold to the Japanese domestic market, featuring an ash body, maple neck, slab 22 fret rosewood fretboard, contoured neck heel, a trio of USA-made Lace Sensor pickups, and a two-point vibrato.

The Lace Sensor Silvers in the neck and middle positions have a fat '70s-style single coil response with increased output and midrange. The Lace Blue at the bridge is reminiscent of a '50s humbucker, dynamic with ample warmth and kick in a single coil configuration. As with all Lace products, these pickups feature a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, giving the player a wider tonal range and better string-to-string balance than traditional pickups. Additionally, the active MDX mid-boost circuit enables notable thickening of the sound when dialed up for a fullness not typically afforded via most single coil pickups. This STR-850LS weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Light Amber Sunburst finish highlights the broad grain in the ash body, with an area of buckle wear across the upper bout, several small nicks (and one finish chip chip) along the body perimeter, and some small dings behind the bridge on top. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, with a few small marks that don’t distract the palm while fretting.

A gigbag is included.
