USED FENDER MADE IN JAPAN / Takashi Kato Stratocaster Paradise Blue [03]

We’ve just received a used Takashi Kato Stratocaster—Takashi Kato’s Japanese-made signature model!
This meticulously crafted guitar is based on a 1965 model that was once owned by Takashi Kato himself! It features a vibrant Paradise Blue finish and a rich, resonant vintage sound.
The strap pins have been replaced with locking pins.
While there are some fine dents on the top and end of the body, as well as a few minor scratches on the headstock—indicating some signs of use—we have restrung this guitar with new strings upon arrival and had our repair department thoroughly clean, maintain, and set up every part.
To ensure you can enjoy this guitar with peace of mind for years to come, we include a one-year warranty, just like a brand-new instrument.
