Fender Made in Japan Traditional 60s Stratocaster Black Paisley 2020
Fender MIJ Trad 60s Strat, made 2020, limited run of 150 in Black Paisley. There's been a few different takes on the black paisley Strat in the last handful of years, but this version is probably the trickiest to find on the used market. You get the classy silver and black paisley metallic finish, but with this specific take, you get a matched blackburst clear guard. This one is basically unplayed, so it's still wearing the plastic covers on the pickguard, back cover and pickups. The sound is great: classic 60s-style Strat snap, with a quacky attack and a sparkly top end. These are starting to fetch some serious cash around the world, so nab it while it's on offer.
