USED FENDER JAPAN / ST57-TX 2TS [03]

The “ST57-TX,” a ’57-spec model from Fender Japan, revives the charm of vintage Stratocasters for today. This guitar was manufactured during the “Crafted in Japan” era and is a popular model that masterfully balances traditional style with practicality.
It features an alder body paired with a comfortable, soft V-shaped one-piece maple neck. In addition to its playability, the vintage-like neck feel is a major draw. The exterior boasts the classic two-tone sunburst (2TS) finish, allowing you to fully enjoy the timeless atmosphere characteristic of the ’57 style.
It is equipped with a Fender Texas Special (TX) pickup. Characterized by a slightly higher output and punchy sound, it produces a tone with real presence across a wide range of genres, from blues to rock. Even when compared to traditional vintage-style Strats, its appeal lies in a fatter, more edgy sound.
While faithfully reproducing period details such as the 6-point tremolo and Kluson-style tuners, it boasts exceptional stability and reliability thanks to the high precision craftsmanship unique to Japanese-made instruments.
Based on a vintage style, this guitar combines a sound ready for the stage with ease of play. Whether for your collection or daily playing, this model lets you experience the exceptional craftsmanship of a Japanese-made Fender.
