Fender Traditional 60s Stratocaster SSH Carribean Blue Transparent

Why we love it

A stunning Fender Factory Special Run Strat SSH from 2021 made only for one music retailer in Japan. A C-profile neck with smooth satin finish that’s fantastic in hand, great electronics, and superb build quality. You won’t want to stop playing this one.

Condition

This guitar is in Excellent condition. The majority of the body is in mint condition. We purchased this guitar in mint condition but unfortunately it arrived to us with a shallow ding in the lower bout which may have occurred when the guitar was being packed or in transit. This has since been professionally repaired. We have attempted to capture this in photos, but the repair was executed very well and is difficult to photograph. From certain angles you can see remnants of the impact spot and cracks in the finish, but the surface is now completely smooth and sealed. There are no other scratches or dings on the body or neck. Fretwear is minimal to none.  The original tremolo bar, Fender gig bag, warranty card and wrench are included. This Strat weighs 7.25 pounds.

Overview

The 25.5-inch scale satin finished maple neck feels quick and comfortable to play with a 1.65-inch wide real bone nut and modern C-profile. A generous slab of rosewood is used for the fretboard, which offers 22 expertly finished narrow tall frets and white dot position markers. This guitar offers balanced but warm tones while still offering plenty of attack, detail, depth, and complexity.

This Traditional 60s Stratocaster model features two 4th Generation Fender Noiseless single coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, with a Modern Modified humbucker in the bridge position. The second tone pot is set up for push/pull coil splitting of the humbucker. With its SSH configuration and splitable humbucker, this Strat is ready to take on any genre you might throw its way.
