Fender MIJ Stratocaster 1985 - £549.00
(62 reissue with original hardcase)
S/N A016457 1985 Vintage Fender® JAPAN Stratocaster® '62 RI finished in beautiful
Creme. ALL ORIGINAL heavily played beauty in poor/reasonable condition with paint cracking/fading and dings to the front and
back. Frets show normal wear for age and use. Finish has naturally faded over the years, you see in the pics. Dark, nicely
figured Rosewood capped maple neck. Action is low and fast. Controls work perfectly with no static or noise (volume, tone,
tone pots need to be replaced - eventually). Comfortable "soft C" neck profile, staggered pole piece vintage style
pups, 5 position switch, vibrato handle, vintage Kluson style tuners, Spaghetti logo, dual string tree. Neck is nicely ambered.
This superb early MIJ Strat® rates way up there with the best USA models for a lot less $$. MIJ Fenders are tops in every
category and this is one really sweet example. Getting better every year and remarkably well-preserved after 25 years. MIJ
has been scratched out (back of neck near body joint) serial number inscribed into the neck plate. Poor condition Japanese
hard shell case and original wammy bar. Cheaper, older and some say as good or better than newer Custom Shop releases.
