Up for sale, a 2015 Fender Japan Exclusive Classic ‘60s Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, finished in custom color Sonic Blue.

The bridge pickup has great clarity and treble zing, the neck pickup is smooth and broad, and positions 2 and 4 on the five-way switch offer quintessential Strat quack. This Classic ‘60s Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
