Up for sale, a 2006 Fender Stratocaster ‘57 vintage reissue model ST57-66US in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This upper-tiered “Crafted in Japan” model is uncommon outside of its country of origin, featuring a trio of Fender's American Vintage 57/62 single coil pickups and a gloss custom color Ocean Turquoise Metallic finish.

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 single coils deliver sparkling treble cut, tight bass, and a dynamic, clear quality, with gutsy spank at the bridge and broader, warmer tones towards the neck. This ST57-66US weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
