The weight is 3.3kg. The neck pocket bears markings of \"ST-57\" and \"90\" with a \"STD\" stamp, and there is a \"50\" seal on the back of the headstock, so we have determined this to be an \"ST57-50\" manufactured in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the I-series and \"MADE IN JAPAN\" markings, it was manufactured between 1989 and 1990, which matches the neck. Fender Japan products from this period were assembled and manufactured by Fujigen, maintaining stable quality and excellent cost performance while realizing modern playability that can adapt to various styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar features an alder or basswood body with a maple neck and 21-fret maple fingerboard. The pickups have no markings on the back, so replacement history is unknown, but the wiring has been corrected. Additionally, the 5-way selector and pots have been replaced, and the bridge has been changed to a block-type saddle similar to the American Standard. The controls are simple, with the two tones assigned to front and center only, with no effect on the rear. The 1-ply pickguard is also a characteristic of the '57 specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck grip has just the right thickness—not too thick, not too thin. It feels different from recent Amer Strats or Amer Pros. The current playing condition is excellent, and it's perfect for players who want to play actively rather than keep it as a collector's item. As a stratocaster from the period when it's becoming Japan Vintage, it's a nice instrument that can be used casually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a model where Japanese craftsmen carefully and accurately inherited the essence of old Fenders with attention to detail and reproduced it throughout. We have performed full maintenance at our shop, so please take this opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Accessories】Fender tweed hard case (with numerous scuffs and dirt marks), arm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】Besides dulled parts, there are scratches and numerous dents on the body, dents on the neck side, and deterioration of the paint on the 17th fret fingerboard dot inlay, showing signs of use.
