This all original MIJ Strat is fairly unique in that it was put together in 2004 as you can see by the 50th Anniversay logo but they used a neck from 1996. This is something they did from time to time. It is in fantastic condition: minimal fret wear (I doubt they have ever been dressed) very very light buckle scratches. (you have to turn it just right to see them). One small ding that is pictured. Notice this one has the Fender stamped saddles and the very nice (IMO) Gotoh tuners and it not a “swimming pool” route. I believe this model was meant for the Japan market only but they let a few slip through to the USA. It plays seriously plays great. Play it as is or switch out the innards to a strat that plays and sounds as good as any USA model. This is a NICE guitar. Case is in solid shape. All the buckles work. If you can not commit to that then shop elsewhere. If you really think the above is unreasonable then I do not want your business.

My name is Jack and this Fender California Series Strat is one of the six I own. It’s a great guitar! The setup with DR 9s allows comfortable bend of string up to Major 3rd above 12th fret. Check out the article below for their opinion! PS: I’m a fanatic over my guitar collection. They are my babies and well taken care of! Have you priced’57 or’62 reissue Strats recently? However, you can find an assembled-in-America Strat that feels just like a’62 reissue. That guitar is the Fender California Strat, and it’s one excellent value. We’ve covered various Stratocasters here, and for good reason – the Strat works. After gigging for almost 30 years, I’ve come to the conclusion that a Strat is probably the single most versatile electric guitar you can own. I’ve played rock, country, blues, funk, jazz and more on a Strat, and it sounds great on all styles. You’re in for a treat! In my opinion, the best Strats made were the early-’60s models with rosewood fretboards and three-ply pickguards. The louder volumes favored by’60s Strat players resulted in a metal shield being installed on many guitars that helped diminish electrical interference, thus reducing noise. The California Strat is identical to the’62 reissue in most respects. The C-shaped neck (my personal favorite) is mated to a thick rosewood slab board for ultimate stability. The three-ply pickguard is there, as are the traditional single-coil pickups, joined to that desirable five-way switch. Little details, like Kluson-style slotted tuners and mouth-watering colors like Candy Apple Red, Lake Placid Blue, and Black, make this guitar all but impossible to differentiate from a regular’62 reissue. In fact, unofficial word is that this guitar was so good it was taking away sales from the regular American Standard series as well as the’57 and’62 reissues. Whatever Fender’s rationale, the California series guitars are no longer available. Too bad, because this is an excellent Strat. I borrowed one from a friend for a recent trio gig, where I ran it into my Digitech RP-200, then straight to the P. The Strat sounded great – clean and punchy, like any good Strat should. I don’t know how the pickups are different, but they seemed to have a bit more high-end than the Mexican Strat I used to play. I installed a set of Super Bullet. 010s, and it sounded and played in tune all night long. I enjoyed the rounder neck profile; when playing barre chords up the neck, a V profile can, if played long enough, cramp one’s thumb. This is critical for guitarists who keep their fret-hand thumb in the correct position – three-fourths of the way up the back of the neck behind the second finger. Re-stringing the guitar is pure pleasure with the old-school slotted Kluson tuners; just bring the neck string through the bridge, cut it off about 1? Past the tuner, and push the cut end into the center of the tuner slot. Bend it down, and start winding. While a bit unwieldy at first, this is part of the reason so many veterans love old Fenders. That and the tone, of course! There are some things about any Strat that can become frustrating. It takes time and careful adjustments to make the whammy bar flexible enough to stay in tune under heavy use. The three single-coils are quite noisy by themselves, especially in high gain/high volume settings. This means many players end up using positions two and four to eliminate the hum. The trem arm on the guitar I borrowed sat higher than I was accustomed to, sometimes making it a challenge to play. If you need a vintage Strat at a reasonable price, you should seriously consider the California Strat. I’ve long wondered why guitars like Teles, Strats, Les Pauls, and 335s are the most popular instruments for gigging guitarists. When I mentioned this to my friend recently, he provided stunning rationale: When an instrument becomes the pinnacle of the art, it ceases to evolve. A perfect explanation why most of us love the classics!

Scroll down to see 55 HD Images of this guitar – under the pick guard and with the neck off Here’s a vintage 1957 Fender Stratocaster in an old and very worn fiesta red refin on the body. The serial on the neck plate is -21975, with the pretty rare ” – ” prefix, which dates to 1957. The maple neck has a good bit of natural playwear, fine checking and such – frets are original and have some grooves. Pots are all original and date to the 23rd week of 1957. The volume pots has 1 prong that’s broken, but fully functional. The knobs look original – one of the tone knob slips a bit on the shaft, so we remedied that. The solder joints look mostly original except for a ground resolder. The neck blacklights correct, decal is period correct and is missing the “er” from stratocaster as well as the “original contour body” – end of the neck is undated. The pickups and covers are original, masking tape on the wiring is original and unmolested. She has the 3 way switch. She has a fresh set up with 9/42’s and plays beautifully. 7.7 lbs on a digital scale. Beat up but original looking tweed Fender hardshell case – only 1 buckle is functional – and trem arm as seen in the pictures.
