Fender Stratocaster '57 Vintage Reissue ST57 Partscaster Olympic White, Japan MIJ

$899.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a Fender Stratocaster '57 vintage reissue model ST57 "partscaster" in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This Stratocaster pairs the fully-loaded body circa 1994 with a neck from 2011 (both "Made in Japan").

Featuring a basswood body, this Strat weighs 7lbs 11oz, offering a smooth, balanced natural acoustic quality. The ST-Single ceramic magnet single coil pickups have a clear sound, with more punch and cut than alnico magnet varieties, offering a sparkling sound in the bridge position, a fat, authoritative quality at the neck, and hollow quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch. This '57 Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Chunky C, measuring .870” 1st fret, .930” 12th fret

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Olympic White finish is limited to a handful of minor dings on the body as a whole, primarily constrained to the back and lower bout perimeter. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless and highlights flame figuring in the maple along the shoulders.

A modern Fender gigbag is included.
