For Sale - 80s Japanese Strat - Open To Offers
HI
I have a Fender Japanese strat, for sale £300 delivered
Its in great condition, no real marks or dents, its had careful use and the condition reflects this. It plays very well, and sounds great. Lovely pick up tones. Its all original and will come in a cardboard box and gig bag.
Ed Treat said it was early 80s. and according to the telecaster forum that has a thread on them, theres a link from someone else who says that the model is the same as the usa standard of that time. Theres some specualtion that they have american necks and other parts, but thats really for the MIM ones wich were later, I think this is just a cool Japanese made Strat, from a time when the American factories were still not up to speed and so a lot of good stuff was being made in Japan to keep the company afloat. but hey its all opinion.they had squire series written on the very end of the headstock but in true fender wierdness had nothing to do with squire at all and its a fully fledged Fender. a lot have sanded it off apparently, which is easy to do,
I would say its the best Japanese strat I have owned, and I have had a couple. And for its age its really in very good condition. just a lovely guitar
It plays like a dream
