※Added 3/13 The strings were rusty, so I replaced them with new ones on 3/12. I found a piece of the Fender logo's edge and a piece above the 6th string nut, so I glued them on. I also glued the side of the logo as it was slightly lifting. The nut groove for the 3rd string was damaged, so I filled it with UV resin and smoothed it with sandpaper (Image 4). Currently, I think the durability is fine, but if you are concerned, you may want to replace the nut. I recently purchased this, but I didn't personally like it, so I'm putting it up for sale. Fender Stratocaster 40th Anniversary Model Made by Fujigen, S serial number, 1994 model Special model with Foto Flame neck. It's a rare Lake Placid Blue color, a beautiful color that looks like Candy Apple Red but blue. The neck is a popular "slab" type from that time, but it seems that cracks often appear due to aging, and this individual also has cracks. There are also cracks and hairline cracks in the print on the back of the neck, but currently, it doesn't catch on the hand, so it doesn't seem to interfere with playing. The body has no paint peeling and is in good condition for its age, but there are small scratches, small dents, rust on the parts, and dullness. It's a little stiff when inserting the cable into the jack. ◇ Specs. ◇ Body: Alder Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Frets: 21 Frets Scale Length: 25.5 inch / 648 mm / Long Scale Pickups: ST-Vintage x 3 Controls: Volume x 1 / Tone x 2 / 5-Way PU Selector SW ・Current condition Frets = The 1st to 3rd strings on the low position look slightly worn, so I think they are about 70% remaining. Neck = Slightly forward bowed. Sound output = Currently, there are no problems. String height = Normal or slightly high, there are some areas with slight buzzing, so I haven't made any fine adjustments. It comes with a genuine Fender soft case, a tremolo arm, and a used tuner, but the tuner is an extra, so it has dirt and signs of use. For an additional 6000 yen, I will pack and ship it in a used Stratocaster-compatible hard case, so please comment if you wish. No claims, no returns, please.
