Fender Japan Stratocaster This is an N-serial model, so it was made by Fujigen in 1993-94. It has aged for many years and sounds great. As shown in photos 7 and 8, there are some dents on the side of the body. (The paint isn't flaking off, nor is the wood gouged out. It's just dents.) When I took it to Shimamura Music in early September for an appraisal/condition check, they didn't specify the exact fret life remaining, but said there was enough left for playing without any problems. (Probably around 70-80% remaining, I can add photos if needed, so please let me know.) Please ask any questions you may have before purchasing. Sometimes there is a little scratchiness when moving the selector switch. Due to the age of the instrument and to prevent any swapping, returns are not accepted. It will be shipped in a soft case. fender squier Gibson
