Fender Japan Stratocaster ST-57-DMC Candy Apple Red
Fender Japan Stratocaster ST-57-DMC Candy Apple Red
I don’t know about you but when I see a Candy Apple Red Strat I think 80s-90s Gilmour!
Fender Japan's DMC series instrument are quite rare especially outside of Japan. A rare, top-tier model made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this guitar features black bobbin Dimarzio single coil pickups, and premium USA-made pots and five-way switch.
The Dimarzio DSC-1 black bobbin single coil pickups are made only for Fender Japan and are wound to vintage spec with staggered alnico pole pieces and cloth covered leads. The five-way pickup selector switch delivers a broad range of classic Strat tonalities, with the clear and articulate tonal platform of a solid alder body and one-piece maple neck. The bridge pickup is sparkling and glassy, while the neck pickup yields throaty, powerful tonalities ideal for lead work, and the "in-between" 2 and 4 settings on the switch have a defined, snappy quack.
Condition: No major dings or scratches, especially nothing that would be visible from afar.
Playability: Straight neck, no buzzing, almost no fret wear, action is comfortable, no issues with electronics
