Description
Used ‘87s MIJ ‘54 reissue Strat with some sweet upgrades. Plays great with very little wear. Frets have lots of life and neck is straight and plays very well.
Loaded with a set of Fender Pure Vintage Custom Shop ‘54 pickups, featuring the early-style Bakelite-look covers. Clear, articulate, and nicely balanced across all positions.
The control layout has been simplified to a master volume and master tone, removing the second tone knob for a cleaner feel and easier access.

The first era of Fender Japan began in 1982, when domestic market Japanese Fenders started rolling out of factories. While Fender Japan is popularly known for some of their more extravagant aesthetics, the bulk of domestic Japanese production was focused on reissues of historic American Fender models. These reissue models were labeled by a two letter/two number model code for the model and reissue year, followed by a suffix that indicated the price in Yen, and any unique specifications the model had. While a given model might come in a variety of price points during a given model year, from entry level to the near Custom Shop quality of Fender Japan's ExTrad series, all the models would broadly follow the aesthetic and technical specifications of the original American models. Reissue models would follow this naming convention until 2015, when Fender Japan revamped their product line to more closely mirror the organizational structure of the Mexican and American made Fender lines.
