Up for sale, a 1997 Fender Mini Stratocaster ST-Champ10 (ST-CH-435) finished in Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock, complete with hangtags. Far from a toy, this “Made in Japan” mini Strat features a built-in speaker and a single CH humbucker in the bridge position.
A three-way selector switch provides settings for Off, Clean, and Distortion for the built-in speaker, while Master Volume and Tone controls dictate both the speaker and instrument jack output. With the selector in the Off position, the speaker is bypassed and the instrument jack output works independently from the speaker, while in the other two positions both the instrument out and speaker are simultaneously engaged. The guitar can go from clean spank to ripping overdrive at the flip of the selector switch. This ST-Champ10 weighs 6lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Chunky C, measuring .875” 1st fret, .940” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, 22-fret, 9 1/2“ radius
-Frets: Slender, no wear
-Scale Length: 24”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone
-Tuners: Gotoh
-Serialization: “Made in Japan”, N-prefix
Body Specs:
-Wood: Basswood
-Pickup: CH Humbucker x1
-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way speaker selector (Off/Clean/Distortion)
-Hardware: Two-point End Rox vibrato with block saddles, jack cup
-Plastics: Four-ply “tomato soup” red tortoise pickguard, knobs, pickup cover
The gloss Lake Placid Blue finish is particularly rich and saturated, with some minor dings on the back and lower bout perimeter, and limited scuffing on top at the bass-side lower bout. The satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included, along with the hangtags (dated to 1998, a year beyond the date of manufacture).
