JAPAN MADE


FENDER STRATOCASTER IN THE MOST VIVID BLUE COLOR YOU'VE EVER SEEN.  THIS WAS MADE SHORTLY AFTER THE CUSTOM SHOP IN JAPAN WAS LICENSED BY FENDER (THAT'S WHEN I BOUGHT HER AROUND 1988).  ALL GOLD PARTS, MOT PICKGUARD, ROSEWOOD NECK.  SHE SOUNDS SO STEVIE RAY IT'S RIDICULOUS.  IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, NO PROBLEMS, NO BELT RASH.  DON'T ASK ME WHY SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SKUNK STRIPE.  I SAW HER IN MANNY'S NEW YORK, FELL IN LOVE WITH HER, AND PLAYED HER EVER SINCE.  NICE MEDIUM SIZE NECK.  WHEN YOU BUY HER, YOU WILL BE AMAZED BY THE BLUE WOODGRAIN FINISH. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE HER, AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.  THIS IS A GUITAR THAT WAS BUILT RIGHT AND SOUNDS RIGHTOUS.  I DO THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO MIMIC A 1962 STRAT SET UP, BUT I CAN'T SWEAR.  ALL I KNOW IS SHE LOOKS GREAT AND SOUNDS EVEN BETTER.

MY WIFE AND I LOST OUR JOBS, WE'RE MOVING NEXT WEEK, AND WE HAVE TO SELL MANY OF OUR POSSESSIONS (SEE WATCH SECTIONS PIAGET POLO AND BAUME & MERCIER, IF YOU'RE A WATCH FREAK)

I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON HIGH TICKET ITEMS SINCE 1999. I HAVE DESCRIBED THE GUITAR TRUTHFULLY AND FAITHFULLY, THEREFORE, I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS AND I DON'T GIVE REFUNDS.  LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK. EVERYONE LOVES WHAT I SELL BECAUSE I DESCRIBE THINGS TRUTHFULLY.

JUST IN CASE, I SEE I PUT ON THE LISTING ROSEWOOD NECK.  THAT IS SOMEWHAT ERRONEOUS AND I APOLOGIZE.  THE NECK, I BELIEVE IS MAPLE, THE FINGERBOARD IS ROSEWOOD.  WHAT YOU MAY BE SEEING IN THE PICTURES IS THE NATURAL HUE OF THE FINGERBOARD. SHE LOOKS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE DAY I BOUGHT HER AND SINCE SHE'S BEEN PLAYED A LOT, SHE SOUNDS EVEN BETTER (IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT).  HOPE THAT CLEARS UP THE QUESTION POSED BY RICHARD.


On May-09-08 at 19:25:01 PDT, seller added the following information:

THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE CHALLENGED THE JAPANESE AUTHENTICITY OF THE GUITAR.  AS I HAVE A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND DO NOT WANT THAT CHANGED, I WILL OFFER THINGS I'VE SAID BEFORE.  I BOUGHT THE GUITAR IN 1988 AT MANNY'S NEW YORK.  THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN.  I DIDN'T CHALLENGE HIM, BECAUSE AT THE TIME I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JAPANESE MADE FENDERS, AND ADMITTEDLY, I STILL DON'T.  I'VE SAID BEFORE, THE GUITAR LOOKS AND PLAYS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STRAT THAT I'VE OWNED.  I'VE SAID IN THESE DIATRIBES THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON THE PLATE AND NO SKUNK STRIPE ON THE NECK, AND I COULDN'T CARE LESS BECAUSE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, HOW IT PLAYS, HOW IT SOUNDS, AND FINALLY, HOW MUCH LESS I PAID FOR IT THAN AN AMERICAN STRAT AT THE TIME.  IF YOU STILL WANT TO JUMP IN ON IT, YOU'RE GETTING A GREAT GUITAR THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THAT REMOTELY LOOKS LIKE IT OR SOUNDS LIKE IT.  ANDY ALEDORT AND LESLIE WEST HAVE PLAYED THIS GUITAR, AND  LIKED IT.  LESLIE USED THIS GUITAR IN AN OVERDUB OF A GROUP CALLED CLUTCH ON WHICH HE PLAYED A DROPPED D LEAD PART. NO MATTER WHAT GUITAR THAT GUY PICKS UP, IT ALWAYS SOUNDS LIKE LESLIE.  I WAS IN THE STUDIO WHEN HE USED IT.  CAN I PROVE IT? NO, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK, I DON'T GIVE BULL STORIES.   I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SATISFIES THE NAYSAYERS OUT THERE.  GOOD LUCK.
