Fender Custom Shop products are manufactured to the highest quality in both looks and sound. A Postmodern Stratocaster, a 2018 model that combines the best of both "Vintage" and "Modern" styles into one guitar, has arrived! This is a Journeyman Relic guitar with an exquisite Fiesta Red finish. It features a carefully selected alder body, a maple neck, a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, and hand-wound "El Diablo" single-coil pickups. While retaining a vintage feel, it delivers a more modern and well-balanced sound, and boasts high playability thanks to its cut-out heel at the neck joint and compound radius. The body and neck are finished in lacquer, the hardware that produces the instrument's resonance is vintage, while the neck specifications and controls that affect the player's playability are modern—a masterpiece crafted with specifications befitting the "Postmodern" model name. Regarding the condition of this particular instrument, while it is difficult to discern due to the relic finish, there are some signs of use such as minor dents, scratches, and paint blemishes that appear relatively new. The frets have approximately 70% of their height remaining, and there are no issues with playability, including the neck and electronics, so you can continue to use this guitar extensively. This postmodern ST is rarely imported into Japan, so don't miss this opportunity! Made in 2018 Includes original hard case and certificate of authenticity.
