This Strat began life in 1994 in Japan as a straight‑laced ’54 reissue. We decided it was high time to have some fun. A thin nitro coat of Aztec Gold now tops the body, and where the relic wear peeks through you’ll spot flashes of the original Candy Apple Red metallic—like finding hot‑rod paint under grandma’s Sunday best.
 
Slide your hand up the soft‑V maple neck and you’ll feel that honey‑amber gloss slick like an old bar top. It’s chunky enough to fill the hand (about 22 mm at the first fret) yet never club‑like, and the vintage 7.25" radius maple board stays true to early‑’50s feel. 
 
Under the aged parchment single‑ply guard you’ll find a tone cocktail: original Fender Japan AlNiCo V single‑coils in the neck and middle slots for crystalline sparkle, paired with an overwound Fender USA bridge pickup that delivers the extra punch you secretly crave.
 
All that goodness flows through upgraded USA‑spec guts—CTS pots, an Oak 5‑way, Orange Drop cap, Switchcraft jack, cloth wire—so when you dime the volume it’s dead quiet until the strings say otherwise.
 
The vintage six‑point trem sits on bent steel saddles and a full‑size block, strung up with three springs for that perfect “wiggle without wobble.” At about 3.6 kg it balances comfortably on a strap, basswood body resonating like a gold‑plated choir.
 
Plug it in and the highs shimmer, mids chew, lows stay tight. Roll to Position 4, lean into a bluesy double‑stop, and suddenly you’ll swear a tube just lit itself.
 
This isn’t a wall hanger.

It’s a Strat that already looks like a lifelong companion—and is quietly waiting to become one. Pick it up, strike a chord, watch the gold flake under stage lights, and let the songs write themselves.
 
This instrument received a full professional setup with deep body cleaning, body polish, neck deep clean, full electronics check, truss-rod and action and intonation adjustment. Restringed with D'addario 10-46 Nickel-plated steel strings.
