1997 Fender Stratocaster ST-Champ ST-CH-435 Mini Electric Guitar Ocean Turquoise w/ Built-In Speaker, Japan CIJ

$1,349.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1997 Fender Mini Stratocaster ST-Champ (ST-CH-435) finished in Ocean Turquoise Metallic with matching headstock, complete with hangtags. Far from a toy, this “Crafted 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-Champ weighs 6lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
