Fender FSR made in Japan Traditional II Late 60s Stratocaster Shell Pink

Why we love it

Fantastic to play, fantastic tone, fantastic aesthetics, and limited availability production. Encapsulates what we love about late 60s Strats in a brand new, superbly crafted, limited color combo package we’d be happy to keep around for the long term.

Condition

This guitar is in Excellent condition. It was purchased new, but we did discover one very tiny dent on the end of the headstock (pictured) during our intake inspection. All other parts of the guitar are in mint (as new/unused) condition. There are no other scratches or dings on the body or neck. There is no fretwear. The truss rod has been tested and functions properly. The electronics all function as new.  The original tremolo bar, Fender gig bag, warranty card and wrench are included. This Strat weighs 7.44 pounds. Setup has been dialed in upon arrival, with medium action, optimally adjusted relief, and proper intonation up and down the neck. The original nickel-plated steel .009-.042 strings are installed.

Overview

This guitar is part of a 2024 Fender Factory Special Run for one Japanese music retailer and features a gorgeous gloss polyester Shell Pink finish with 3-ply Eggshell pickguard and control knobs. A late 60s plus-sized headstock with Fender Vintage “F” tuners sits atop the impeccably crafted maple neck with urethane gloss vintage tint finish. The familiar 25.5-inch scale U-profile maple neck feels reassuringly substantial and comfortable to play without feeling clunky. The 1.65-inch wide real bone nut sits at the top of the classically beautiful rosewood fretboard, which offers 22 expertly finished vintage frets and white dot position markers. Fender Vintage-Style single coil pickups provide plenty of classic Strat tone, with ample snap, clarity, and complexity.
