With a gloss three-tone Sunburst finish, this Strat was made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is rarely seen outside its country of origin. This instrument features period-correct details including a large headstock with block Stratocaster text, Fender F tuners, a rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlay, and a white narrow bevel three-ply pickguard.The trio of alnico magnet single coils have plenty of chime and sparkle, governed by a five-way pickup selector switch. The bridge pickup has great cut, while the in-between settings on the switch have quintessential Strat quack, and the neck pickup is bell-like and round. Weighing 7lbs 2oz, we've dialed in this Stratocaster here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with fresh 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.The maple neck has a medium C-shaped profile with full shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .850” deep at the 1st fret and .905” at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard has a traditional 7 1\/4\" fretboard radius with perfect slender vintage-style fretwire that retains its full factory height. The guitar plays effortlessly up the 25 1\/2\" scale, and the nut measures 1 5\/8\" in width. On the headstock, the Fender F tuning machines have the correct vintage look, turn smoothly, and hold pitch well.All of the electronics work as they should, with a trio of staggered pole piece single coil pickups wired to USA-made CTS pots. The vibrato has a large block for great sustain, and the unit is very responsive for smooth surfy warbles and deeper dives, jumping back to the original pitch with ease. The classic three-tone Sunburst gloss finish with white pickguard tops off the late '60s look, and the chrome hardware and plastic parts are pristine. Cosmetically, there's barely a scratch on the guitar.The original Fender-branded gigbag and hangtags are included.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40650890379450,"sku":"JD20005243","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_51b91bbf-ba91-48cf-befe-2692e81e0526.jpg?v=1751546924","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2020-fender-traditional-late-60s-stratocaster-electric-guitar-sunburst-near-mint-japan-mij-w-tags","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
