This is an early Fender Mexico Classic 50s Stratocaster, made in 1999. The reason for the "as is" condition is shown in images 7, 8, and 9; the frets on the 1st to 3rd frets have been repeatedly removed and inserted, resulting in this condition. Please assume that fret replacement is necessary. Fret replacement can be done for around 11,000 yen at a low-cost shop, such as those on certain online auctions. Please find a shop yourself. If you are skilled, you might be able to replace only three frets. It is still playable as is, but the price reflects this, so please understand. The pickups alone are worth a considerable amount. The strings have been replaced. And the guitars from this era used good quality wood. The pickups have been replaced with USA Pure Vintage, I believe. It has a bright, spanky sound. Neck: Straight Truss Rod: Turns both ways Frets: 1st to 3rd frets are "as is." The rest are about 70% remaining. Please replace as they are consumables. String Height: 12th fret, 6th string side 2.0mm, 1st string side 1.9mm All electronics work normally without any scratchiness. The tremolo arm (US spec, inch size) can be purchased online for as little as 500 yen, so please purchase one yourself if you need it. Comes with a soft case. This guitar has a good acoustic sound and resonates well.
