Fender Stratocaster Japanese “Junior Collection”

These are Japan released only and quite hard to get in the USA at a reasonable price so even not being the color or fretboard I wanted I still snagged this one up. You can find wannabe dealers that will act as a middleman but I checked that option out but didn’t feel the ridiculously bloated fee for his “service” was justifiably appropriate (over $1800 total!) If you’re in the market just be patient, one will come around eventually. This 2022 model is in Satin Sonic Blue and has a few reversible upgrades, the lifeless pickups were swapped for a Fender USA V~Mod II set and a push on/off pot was added in the 2nd tone spot for bringing in the neck pickup giving 7 tonal options instead of the stock 5 which sounds great and is fun and useful. Enjoy 🤘😎🎸
