USED Fender Japan / STS-55R Vintage White [11]

Short-Scale ST with Shigeru Narige's Involvement in Its Development
The STS-550R was developed at the suggestion of Shigeru Narige, one of the leading guitarists of Japanese rock, as a Strat that would be easy to play for Japanese with small hands.
The body was downsized to fit the contoured neck heel and short-scale neck, and the controls were changed to master volume and master tone. The slightly flat fretboard, 22 frets, and 2-point tremolo support are the forerunners of today's modern specs, and we tip our hats to them. The pickups are also differentiated from other models with HOTROD-5S. The tremolo mechanism is a 10.5mm pitch 2-point tremolo called ENDROX G1, which was newly developed at that time, and it is equipped with newly developed hardware that can lock the upside-down strings on the block side.
The serial number indicates that this guitar was manufactured by Fujigen between 1989 and 1990.
It is in relatively clean condition for its age, although there are some discoloration marks from sticker application, color burns on parts, and some scratches and dings.
The neck is in good playing condition.
