Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Stratocaster ‘57 vintage reissue model ST57-58US in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Strat was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin, loaded with a trio of USA-made American Vintage 57/62 pickups.

The Fender American Vintage 57/62 pickups match vintage spec with black fiber bobbins, staggered alnico magnets, and cloth-covered leads. Via the five-way switch, these Fender single coils have sparkling trebles, tight bass, and a dynamic, clear quality, well-suited for chiming cleans and overdriven cut. This Strat weighs 7lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
