Description

Fender Japan Stratocaster "Fender Japan ST57" in stock! Weight is 3.42kg, color is Sunburst.

This is a "Crafted in Japan" Q-series instrument that was assembled by Dyna Gakki between 2002 and 2004. While maintaining stable quality and excellent cost performance, it realizes modern playability that can adapt to various styles.

Reproducing 1957 specifications using standard wood materials. According to Fender Japan catalogs from this period, this model features a basswood body, maple 21F fretboard, and maple neck. Controls are simple with 1VOL / 2TONE (front, center) and a 5-way selector. There is no tone control on the rear.

Since nothing other than "12-2" is marked on the neck pocket or pickups, the exact model name and pickup part numbers remain unknown. During this period, models such as "ST57-58US" and "ST57-70TX" existed, with the TX version using an alder body, but most of these products have numbers indicating the model name on the neck and body. Based on the sunburst color, oval-shaped neck (not matte finish), 1-ply pickguard, standard head size, wiring color, and manufacturing period, this is believed to be the "ST57-58US," but please understand that definitive confirmation is difficult.

An easy-to-use sunburst color with outstanding sound and looks. A model aimed at the universally loved Stratocaster.
