Based on the ST-552 from the Squier Contemporary series planned by Fender Japan, which was manufactured during that period, the following modifications have been made by my friend. ・Pickup configuration changed from HH to SSS: Originally an HH pickup configuration, but since it's a valuable JV era Strat body, it has been changed to the user-friendly SSS pickup configuration. ・Additional cavity processing for the center pickup and enlargement of the front and rear pickup cavities: Along with the change to the SSS pickup configuration, additional processing for the center pickup cavity and a slight enlargement of the front and rear pickup cavities in the horizontal direction. ・Anodized pickguard installed: Considering that it would best suit this shining red body, we decided to install an anodized aluminum pickguard, and all hardware has been changed to gold to match this gold-toned pickguard. ＊The continuation of the product description above exceeds the character limit, so it will be posted in the comment section.
