1992 Fender Custom Edition '57 Stratocaster ST57G-65 Charcoal Red w/ Gold Hardware, Japan MIJ Fujigen
1992 Fender Custom Edition '57 Stratocaster ST57G-65 Charcoal Red w/ Gold Hardware, Japan MIJ Fujigen
This Strat has a balanced, lively natural acoustic quality which is translated faithfully through the trio of alnico magnet single coils. The bridge position has a sparkling, authoritative cut, the middle position single coil has a percussive clarity, and the neck position is throaty and warm while still having a peppy snap in the top end. Positions 2 and 4 on the five-way pickup selector switch offer a thinned-out squawk. Weighing 7lbs 7oz, this Stratocaster ST62G-65 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .845” 1st fret, .975” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, vintage-spec 7 1/4” radius
-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the B and E strings on frets 1-2
-Scale Length: 25 ½”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh
-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” N-prefix
-Factory Markings: Model stamps on neck heel/pocket, “Katayama Musical Instruments" sticker on back of peghead
Body Specs:
-Wood: American basswood
-Pickups: ST-Vintage single coil x3
-Harness: Full-size Japanese pots date to October, 1992
-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Five-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup
-Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard, aged knobs/pickup covers
The gloss Charcoal Red finish highlights the grain of the American basswood body, with cosmetic wear limited to some minor dings on the body and a small area of finish scuffing below the input jack on the lower bout perimeter. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and inviting to the palm with only a few shallow marks.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
