2000 Fender Stratocaster ‘54 Vintage Reissue ST54-95LS Blackie Specs, Near-Mint w/ USA Lace Sensors, Japan CIJ

2000 Fender Stratocaster ‘54 Vintage Reissue ST54-95LS Blackie Specs, Near-Mint w/ USA Lace Sensors, Japan CIJ

Up for sale, a 2000 Fender Stratocaster ‘54 vintage reissue model ST54-95LS in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hangtag. This top-tier “Crafted in Japan” Strat is virtually identical to the Eric Clapton “Blackie” Signature Stratocaster, sharing a number of premium features with that instrument including a trio of Lace Sensor Gold pickups, active MDX Mid-boost circuit and TBX Tone control, and a satin-finished 22 fret neck with a prominent V-shaped profile carve and a modern 9 1/2“ fretboard radius.

The Lace Sensor pickups feature a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, giving the player a wider tonal range and better string-to-string balance than traditional pickups. An active Mid Boost control replaces the Strat's second Tone knob, enabling the humbucker-esque warmth and richness of Clapton’s iconic “woman tone,” and the center-detent TBX tone control dials in additional thickness and boost. Weighing 7lbs 15oz, this Strat benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Deep V, measuring .900” 1st fret, .995” 12th fret

-Hardware: Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup
-Plastics: One-ply white pickguard, aged knobs/pickup covers

The gloss Black finish is exceptionally clean, with cosmetic wear limited to some faint finish scratches in the clear coat. The satin on the neck profile has one shallow mark just below the headstock and a few tiny nicks that are practically imperceptible to the palm.

A Fender-branded gigbag is included, along with the Fender Japan manual.
