2004 Fender Japan ST62-58US '62 Reissue Stratocaster (Ice Blue Metallic)Japanese made in 2004 by the Tokai factory, this is a '62 reissue Stratocaster from Fender that's factory loaded with Fender USA pickups (US Vintage). Basswood body with an Ice Blue Metallic finish, slim C maple neck with a 21 fret rosewood fingerboard (7. 25" radius), it weighs 3. 6kg's. Looks to be all original and in pretty clean cosmetic condition with some small cosmetic dings on the body, the neck has a few small bumps but they don't impact on

it weighs just over 4kg's and is loaded with Gotoh hardware and stock pickups

serviced and restrung prior to listing so it's good to go

Lawrence stamped saddles and tuners with mirror gold pickguard

The original Fender Japan ceramic single coils have been upgraded with a set of unbranded vintage cloth-wired alnico pickups that we sourced from the Tokai factory along with a new 5-way pickup selector and output jack paired with the original pots and hardware

Very clean overall vintage condition with basic signs of wear and tear with a few cosmetic dings to be seen

The pickguard has a small crack between the volume and tone knobs that was cleated and glued so it's sturdy

The Guyatone PS-101 Rolly Box (Or Phase Sonix on the earliest models) was a very early Guyatone pedal release

while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany

Frets have plenty of life and are shiny and smooth

Frets have some light wear and pitting but were polished and play smoothly

this Epiphone Dot is a step above a modern Chinese build in both quality and playability
