2016 Fender Japan Exclusive Classic '60s Stratocaster Texas Special Candy Apple Red, ST62-TX
2016 Fender Japan Exclusive Classic '60s Stratocaster Texas Special Candy Apple Red, ST62-TX
Up for sale, a 2016 Fender Japan Exclusive Classic '60s Stratocaster Texas Special in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Essentially a rebranding of the ST62-TX model, this Stratocaster (as the name would suggest) was made exclusively for the domestic Japanese market, rarely seen outside its country of origin, featuring a factory-installed set of Fender’s USA-made Texas Special pickups and a gloss Aged Candy Apple Red finish.
Weighing 7lbs 12oz, tonewoods include an alder body and one-piece maple neck capped by a thick slab rosewood fretboard. 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 Classic '60s Stratocaster Texas Special has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .835” 1st fret, .935” 12th fret

-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm)

The gloss finish is abbreviated OCR for Old Candy Apple Red as a darker, richer shade of this custom color than previous Fender Japan offerings. Cosmetic wear is limited to just a couple tiny dings on top and some minor nicks and finish scratches in the clear coat. The ambered gloss finish on the neck profile is flawless, highlighting light figuring on the profile length.
A gigbag is included.
