2004 Fender Stratocaster '71 Vintage Reissue ST71-85TX Natural, Near-Mint w/ USA Pickups, Japan CIJ
Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Stratocaster ‘71 vintage reissue model ST71-85TX in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Stratocaster is an uncommon, upscale model, designed for the Japanese domestic market and rarely seen outside its country of origin. Features include a factory-installed set of Fender’s USA-made Texas Special pickups and vintage accurate touches including a large 70s-style headstock, three-bolt neck plate, and block saddles.
Weighing 8lbs 5oz, 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 Stratocaster 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, .945” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, vintage-spec 7 1/4” radius
-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 5/8”, bone
-Tuners: Schaller-made Fender “F”
-Serialization: “Crafted in Japan,” Q-prefix
Body Specs:
-Wood: Ash
-Pickups: Texas Special single coil x3
-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Five-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Synchronized Tremolo with block saddles, jack cup
-Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard, gently aged knobs
The gloss Natural finish is very well-kept, with only a bit of pick wear across the guard and some minor dings and finish scratches, largely on the lower bout perimeter. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
A padded gigbag is included.
