This rare “Made in Japan” Stratocaster features a gloss Transparent Blue finish over an ash body, complete with matching headstock. This is a notably rare variant of the ST62\/ASH platform, likely produced as an FSR (Factory Special Run) release for a single dealer, boasting an SSH pickup complement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLightweight 7lbs 3oz, this Stratocaster offers plenty of note attack, sweet sustain and layered midrange detail. The pair of ST-Vintage single coil pickups in the neck and middle positions are clear and detailed, offering hollow quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch, and the Dragster humbucker at the bridge is big and bold, offering a great counterpoint to the single coils and taking gain well. This ST62\/ASH\/MH has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .860” 1st fret, .980” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, 22-fret, 9 1\/2“ radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Narrow\/tall, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” JD12-prefix\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Model stamps on neck heel\/pocket\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: ST-Vintage single coil x2, Dragster humbucker x1\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Five-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Four-ply white pearloid pickguard (factory protective film intact), cream pickup covers\/knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Transparent Blue finish on the body exhibits some yellowing of the clear coat yielding a greenish hue and highlighting the grain of the ash body.
