Fender Japan ST-62 LS Stratocaster Vintage White 1988-1989 Lace Sensor Pickups

A brilliant, made in Japan Fender '62 Strat in Vintage White. We have an example of just how good an MIJ Strat can be. This model is styled after the signature Eric Clapton models from the era. Setting it aside from standard models it gets a deluxe vibrato, an alder body and a set of Lace Sensor Gold pickups. Those combine for a tone with clarity and chime in abundance; all balanced with a rounded warm bass and a full midrange. 

This will easily match or surpass most USA instruments in tone and feel; it's a great sounding Strat. The soft-V neck is slim and comfy; perfect if you're a habitual thumb-over-hanger and an great match for lead playing. The quality of maple, rosewood and alder on offer here is one of the hallmarks of early MIJ instruments.

The workmanship on offer is exceptional; everything is exactly how it should be and that adds up to a feeling of ease and confidence in the hands. This model was mostly only offered in sunburst, so scoring an example in a superb vintage white is a rare treat. 

Condition: Some very minor scratches, only noticeable when looking up close. Barely noticeable grooving on the back from rubbing up against belt.

Playability: Straight neck, no buzzing, very little fret wear, action is comfortable, no issues with electronics
