A cost-effective Stratocaster from Fender Japan. The model numbers vary depending on the year, such as ST-STD, ST-43, and ST-50. Based on the serial number, it appears to have been manufactured around 2007-2008. It has some scratches and signs of use. The frets are slightly worn, but there are no current issues. Paint cracks are visible at the joint. There's a mark, as if it was scraped, on the pickguard around the center pickup. The MADE IN JAPAN logo on the headstock has been scraped off. It has been maintained and there are no issues with playing. The case in the images is included. The back panel is missing. Please ask if you have any questions. *The guitar stand is for photography purposes and is not included.
