Master grade 63ST made in 2002 in stock!

The body is 2pcs Alder center, and the neck is plain Maple with 7.25" fingerboard radius and narrow vintage type frets. JM also loves 63ST, but this is relatively thin 60 style C shape.

The PU is the original "Master Grade 60s PU" which is the basis of its name. DC resistance is about 6.2k, 6.2k, and 6.1k from the neck side for vintage tone. The pot date is not visible due to solder, but all other parts were made in 2001.

The body has wipe scratches, scuffs, and dings. There are some minor picking scratches on the pickguard. The body has a greenish tint to it, and the clear color has turned amber with age. There is a sesame-sized ding on the left side of the bridge, a small ding on the side of the jack (about the size of a needle hole), and a ding on the outer side of the horn on the 6th string side. There is also a small ding on the inside of the 1st string cutaway horn. There is a small ding on the lower left edge of the back of the body, and there are also some small dings and scratches around the back panel. The back of the neck is semi-glossy in its original state, but has some shiny patina due to use. The rubber for PU height adjustment has been replaced by a spring. There are some solder marks on the top of the headstock to prevent noise. There are some scratches on the hardware, but there are no noticeable signs of use.

The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod can be adjusted in the direction to tighten or loosen, and can still be turned to tighten and adjust. There are no noticeable string marks on the frets, and about 70% of the strings are left. The current string height is about 2.0mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 1.5mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, there are only minor dents and no noticeable signs of use, and considering its age, it is in relatively good condition.
Why is it master grade when it was made in 2002? You may think, "Why Master Grade?" However, the model with Master Grade PU was shipped as Master Grade with MGN serial number to hide the name, which could not be used due to adult circumstances. I remember it well because I was a stockist at that time. The body date is 01 and the neck date is 2002 with a proper stamp. The body date is 01, and the neck date is stamped 2002. However, the certificate of authenticity says it was made in 2000, but I don't know why. According to my own information route, it was definitely shipped in 2002, and there could have been many dates on the certificate.... I guess I made a mistake. However, the sound is light and still good! It is also in good condition with few signs of use, and is recommended for those who want to be particular about the sound!

2002年製、マスターグレードの63ST入荷!

ボディはアルダーのセンター2pcs。ネックはプレーンなメイプルで、板目な木取りや7.25インチの指板R、細身のヴィンテージタイプのフレット等今となってはハードコアなヴィンテージスタイルです。JMも愛用する63STですが、いわゆる63であると太めな印象を持たれるかもしれませんがこちらは比較的薄めな60スタイルのCシェイプです。

PUはオリジナルでそのネーミングの基本となる『Master Grade 60s PU』を搭載。直流抵抗値はネック側から約6.2k、約6.2k、約6.1kとヴィンテージトーン。もちろんRWRP仕様ではありません。Potデイトは、Volはハンダでみえませんが、その他は2001年製です。

ボディには拭きキズ、スリキズ、打痕があります。ピックガードには細かい感じでピッキングキズがあります。ボディ全体的に経年変化によりクリアがアメ色となっており、緑掛かっております。ブリッジ左脇にゴマ粒大の打痕があり、ジャック脇にも針の穴程度の小さな打痕があります。6弦側ホーン外サイド部分には薄っすらと米粒大の打痕があり、1弦側ホーン外サイド部分にも米粒大の打痕があります。また1弦側カッタウェイ部分1弦側ホーン内側にもほんの小さな打痕があり、ジョイント部分には軽微な塗装チップがあります。ボディバック左下エッジ部分には小さな打痕があり、バックパネル周りにもほんの小さな打痕やスリキズが点在しております。ネック裏は基本オリジナルは半艶な感じですが、使用により全体的にテカリがあります。ヘッドトップ付け根部分には小さな打痕があります。PU高さ調整用のゴムがスプリングに変わっております。各Potをリレーするかたちでノイズ対策のためのハンダ跡があります。各ハードウェアにはクスミ等ありますが目立つ使用感はありません。

ネックコンディションは問題なく、トラスロッドは締める方向緩める方向に調整可能で、締める方向にまだ回せ調整可能です。フレットには目立つ弦痕等はなく、残り7割程です。現状弦高は12F6弦側で約2.0mm、1弦側で約1.5mmで調整されております。

全体的には軽微な打痕程度で目立つ使用感はなく、年式から考えて比較的良好なコンディションです。
2002年製なのになんでマスターグレード?と思うかもしれませんが、大人の事情で使えなかったその名前を伏せるかたちでマスターグレードPUを搭載したモデルはMGNシリアルとしマスターグレードとして出荷されておりました。当時現役で仕入れしてた為よく覚えてます。ボディデイトは01年、ネックデイトはちゃんとスタンプで2002年。フェンダーのオフィシャルポータルサイトで調べても出荷は2002年製です。但し認定証は2000年製ですが理由は不明。私の独自の情報ルートによれば、2002年に出荷されているのは間違いなく、認定証の日付は色々あったかもしれません・・・。間違えたんですかね。とはいえサウンドは軽快でやっぱりイイです!また使用感も少なく良好なコンディションでサウンドにコダワリたい方にオススメの一本です!
