2002 Fender Stratocaster '71 Vintage Reissue ST71-85TX Natural w/ USA Pickups, Japan CIJ
Weighing 7lbs 7oz, tonewoods include an ash body and one-piece maple neck. Fender’s Texas Special single coils match vintage spec with black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads and staggered alnico magnets, delivering a bevy of sparkling classic Strat tonalities with a slightly aggressive overwound snap. The bridge pickup is bold and chewy and the neck has a full, bell-like quality. This ST71-85TX 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 .840” 1st fret, .940” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, vintage-spec 7 1/4” radius
-Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear favoring the plain strings on frets 1-10
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 5/8”, bone
-Tuners: Schaller-made Fender “F”
-Serialization: “Crafted in Japan,” P-prefix
-Factory Markings: Model stamps on neck heel/pocket
Body Specs:
-Wood: Ash
-Pickups: Texas Special single coil x3
-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Five-way pickup selector
-Harness: Full-size Japanese pots, upgraded Jensen paper-in-oil tone cap
-Hardware: Six-point vibrato with block saddles, jack cup
-Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard, gently aged knobs
The gloss Natural finish is extremely well-kept with only some minor dings, a bit of pick wear across the guard, and a tiny bit of finish checking at the corners of the neck pocket. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A Fender-branded gigbag is included.
