USED Fender Japan / ST57-53 2-Color Sunburst [11]

A Japanese-made vintage reissue model based on the 1957 Stratocaster.

This particular guitar dates back to the Fujigen era, around 1994–1995. This period is renowned for the quality of the neck finish and assembly precision, and it remains highly regarded even today.

Featuring a one-piece maple neck with a 7.25-inch radius, it faithfully recreates the feel of the era. With details like the small headstock and simple single-ply pickguard, the finish captures the authentic look and feel of the original.

The body is made of basswood, making it lightweight and easy to handle, with a neutral, unobtrusive tone. It sounds bright and lively in clean settings and maintains a well-balanced tone when driven, making it versatile across all genres.

The single-coil pickups deliver a practical tone with a vintage flavor, free from excessive quirks. They respond naturally to the player’s touch and settings.

This guitar combines vintage-style looks, an easy-to-handle sound, and the reliability characteristic of the Fujigen era.
