1997 Fender Japan – ST-65 Stratocaster – Ocean Turquoise – ID 5057

Fender Strat “Crafted in Japan” 1965 Reissue - Ocean Turquoise / Nitro
This Japan Strat, built around 1997, is a real highlight - not only because of its rare nitro finish, but also because of the excellent wood selection and workmanship, which is on a par with US Custom Shop guitars. The slim maple neck with curved rosewood fingerboard plays smoothly, the US Roterle body is highly resonant. The pickups used are not original, their origin is uncertain (see pictures), but they deliver everything from bell-like highs to a rich rock foundation. Light Relic patina is included free of charge.
A real “Player's Strat”, where the price is disproportionate to the quality - almost vintage, with a full sound.
