Fender contemporary Stratocaster Japan 1985 - $700
QR Code Link to This Post
This is a Japanese contemporary Stratocaster from 1985. This has new strings and plays well with action under a 16th of an inch at the 12th fret. This weighs around 8 lb. The Locking nut at the head is not original and is a genuine Floyd Rose made in Germany. I never had the original. I am including a bar shown in the last picture which is not original, it's a regular Fender Standard with a piece of electrical tape around the threading so it stays in okay.
Currently the locking nut is not locked so you can tune at the tuners.
This has some marks from 40 plus years of use but no big damage or functional issues. The little switch splits the humbucker at the bridge to make it single coil. This has that weird series 3 bridge I believe made by Schaller in Germany which is high quality. Includes a '90s case which is beat up, although the hinges and latches work it is broken on the top and the bottom and covered in tape over the broken parts, but will help protect it in shipping.
