Up for sale, a 2023 Collection Fender Traditional 60s Stratocaster in like-new condition and in perfect working order. With a gloss Aged Sherwood Green finish exclusive to the '23 collection, this model is not otherwise available to the USA market and was sourced direct from Tokyo, complete with the original Fender-branded gigbag and hangtags.
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. This Strat weighs 7lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with the factory 9-42 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation (string gauge and setup can be dialed in to buyer's preference at no additional cost).
The neck has a substantial U-shaped profile carve with ample shoulder and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .860” deep at the 1st fret and .905” at the 12th. The dark slab rosewood fretboard has a modern 9 1/2” radius with flawless slender vintage-style fretwire. This guitar plays cleanly up the 25 1/2” scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The bone nut measures 1 5/8” in width. On the headstock, the Kluson-style tuning machines have the correct vintage look, turn smoothly, and hold pitch well.
Electronics include a trio of staggered pole piece single coil pickups wired to USA-made CTS pots and a five-way switch. 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. Plastics include eggshell pickup covers and knobs with a mint green pickguard that retains its clear protective factory film and model advert. The custom color Aged Sherwood Green gloss finish tops off the '60s look (a new finish for Fender Japan's 2023 Traditional collection). This instrument is ostensibly new, procured directly from Tokyo and dialed in beyond the factory setup to play its best.
The original Fender-branded gigbag and hangtags are included.
