2005 Fender Stratocaster '57 Reissue ST57 Blackie CIJ Japan USA Pickups w/gigbag

Up for sale, a 2005 Fender '50s reissue Stratocaster model ST57 in excellent condition and in perfect working order.  This "Crafted in Japan" Strat is quite faithful to the model's earliest iteration in the 1950s and boasts a set of factory installed Fender USA Custom Shop Texas Special pickups!  If you're looking to deliver classic sparkle and chime with your favorite Buddy Holly passages or Clapton "Blackie" fretwork, it's hard to beat this stunning sounding Stratocaster.  Weighing in at 7lbs 4oz, this Strat has a bold tone with great clarity and the slightly pronounced midrange for which the higher wind Texas Special pickups are known.  Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and strung with fresh 10-46 strings, this Strat is ready for the stage and studio!

The maple neck has a medium C profile that borders on the more slender side of things while still feeling substantial.  The 25 1/2" scale neck has a smooth gloss finish that makes it easy to slide up the fretboard unencumbered, with a 7 1/4" fretboard radius and traditional 1 5/8" nut width. The narrow vintage style fretwire ensures that this guitar truly does feel like its vintage brethren, and the frets show only faint grooves beneath the plain strings. There's plenty of fret height left, and the guitar plays cleanly with no buzzing or dead spots and solid intonation.  On the headstock, the Kluson-style Gotoh tuning machines have the correct vintage look, turn smoothly and hold pitch well. 

All of the electronics work as they should, and the USA pickups are cleanly wired to a Japanese wiring harness with stock pots and five-way pickup selector switch.  The vibrato has a large block for great sustain and the arm is very responsive for smooth surfy warbles and deeper dives, jumping back into tune with ease.  The gloss black finish tops off the classic '50s look, and cosmetically the body shows its fair share of small dings and nicks, mostly relegated to the back of the instrument, particularly on the side of the body just south of the input jack and knobs. There is faint buckle rash on the back as well, roughly located between the neck plate and tremolo cavity, in addition to light surface rust on the bridge saddles (all heigh adjustment and intonation screws still turn smoothly). Lastly, the position of the rear strap button has been shifted slightly to the left.
Don't miss out on this Fender ST57 Stratocaster reissue that captures the look and feel of a '50s Strat, complete with a set of factory installed Fender Custom Shop Texas Special black bobbin pickups!

A gigbag is included (not pictured).
