- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender '57 Strat. sunburst, made in Japan 2010-11. It's a pretty classic look really... never goes out of style. This has a classy two tone 50s style burst, paired with the vintage tinted maple board and period correct details like a one ply guard, spaghetti logo and stamped saddles. The neck is a slightly chunky D style shape, so while it's not massive, there's a bit of meat on it and it feels reassuring in the hand. The tone on offer is vintage Strat stuff: snappy, snarly and punchy, with a juicy low end and plenty of breath through the mids. These 2010s era models have super simple but great sounding pickups, they have a certain satisfying smack about them. This is stacks of Strat for the dime and will surely have you grinning in no time.
