USED Fender Japan / ST68-TX Black [10]

A used 1968-style Stratocaster model from Fender Japan—which has become an icon for legendary guitarists—has just arrived!!
At first glance, this guitar might look like a ’50s model, but it features specifications typical of the transitional period between the ’60s and ’70s, such as a large headstock, a maple fingerboard, and F-key tuners.
The back panel has been missing since it arrived. There are scattered scratches and dents throughout the body, and signs of wear—such as paint cracks on both sides of the neck pocket—are evident. While the plastic parts show discoloration and color transfer, and the hardware exhibits dullness and plating corrosion, there are currently no functional issues.
