Up for sale, a 2011 Fender Stratocaster ‘62 vintage reissue model ST62 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Stratocaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside of its country of origin, 100% original save for an upgraded wiring harness with USA-spec components.
This Strat features a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, offering a balanced natural acoustic quality and weighing 7lbs 10oz. The alnico magnet single coil pickups have plenty of sparkling snap and bell-like cut on the five-way pickup selector, with a thinned-out quack in the “in-between” switch positions. This Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
