USED Fender Japan / ST57-65AS Burgundy Mist [11]

The Fender Japan Stratocaster 40th Anniversary Model “ST57-65AS” has arrived!
Based on the “Made in Japan” label, the “S” serial number, and the joint plate, this guitar is believed to have been produced by Fujigen in 1994.
This Stratocaster 40th Anniversary model features a body with a particularly vibrant finish and the revolutionary “Foto Flame” design on the neck.
It features an alder body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard.
“Foto Flame” is a print finish that utilizes gravure printing technology; it creates an atmospheric flame pattern by transferring a print master based on AAA-grade flame maple.
It also features mint green hardware, inspired by 1960s Stratocasters that have developed a rich patina over time, as well as a joint plate commemorating the 40th anniversary.
This is a truly special guitar that lets you enjoy the attention to detail of this commemorative model and the superior craftsmanship unique to Japanese-made instruments!!
