USED Fender Japan / ST43HM Modified Lake Placid Blue [11]

A unique Fender Japan model that combines the Stratocaster style with a humbucker-humbucker configuration and a 24.75-inch short scale!
The ST43HM from Fender Japan has arrived. Based on the Stratocaster body shape, this distinctive model delivers a powerful, rich sound thanks to its two humbuckers. Its appearance—featuring a rosewood fingerboard paired with a white three-ply pickguard—is also quite appealing.Furthermore, it features a 628mm (24.75-inch) scale—shorter than a standard Stratocaster—which provides a pleasantly soft string tension and exceptional playability. This is a unique Fender Japan guitar that offers a slightly different flavor from the orthodox Stratocaster and pairs exceptionally well with rock-oriented sounds.
There is a noticeable dent at the body end.
There are also signs of wear, such as scratches, dents, and some discoloration on the parts.
The pickups have been replaced with Seymour Duncan SPH90-1B and SPH90-1N models.
The neck is in good condition, and the guitar plays well.
