Jaw-Dropping Rarity: Own the Legendary Fender ST-80SPL – A Sonic and Visual Masterpiece!
Prepare to be utterly mesmerized, guitar aficionados! Feast your eyes (and ears) on this ultra-rare, heart-pounding Fender ST-80SPL, a true collector's dream that's as ferocious in tone as it is stunning in style. Crafted with unparalleled precision and now emerging from the shadows of the Japanese domestic market, this beauty is a once-in-a-lifetime find – seldom spotted for sale, even among the most elite circles. Back in its heyday, this high-end powerhouse commanded a staggering 80,000 yen price tag, equivalent to a small fortune, marking it as the pinnacle of luxury for discerning players.
At nearly 23 years young, this gem defies time with its very good to excellent cosmetic condition – just a whisper of minor dings, dents, and a subtle chip along the bottom edge (check the pics for proof of its well-preserved allure). But oh, the visuals! Dive into the hypnotic Blue Baltic Vintage finish draped over a solid ash body: a breathtaking transparent blue burst that dances across the exquisite wood grain, seamlessly fading into an opaque blue haze laced with shimmering metalflake at the edges. Watch in awe as the color shifts magically from solid opacity to ethereal translucency based on the viewing angle – a chameleon-like effect that's pure optical wizardry. Paired with a crisp three-ply white pickguard and gleaming gold hardware, this Strat exudes timeless elegance and rock-star charisma, turning heads wherever it goes.
Now, let's crank up the volume: Equipped with fiery Texas Special Pickups, this beast unleashes a symphony of tones that will make your soul sing. Plug into a high-gain tube amp, and it roars to life with a guttural growl that's raw, powerful, and utterly addictive. Yet, its versatility knows no bounds – from blistering blues riffs and soaring rock anthems to silky jazz licks and funky grooves, it conquers every genre with effortless grace. Whether you're shredding on stage under the spotlights or crafting studio magic, this guitar delivers pro-level performance with that unmistakable Fender mojo.
It is in very nice condition with only one chip along the bottom edge by the jack and a ding on the beck edge. There is light play wear throughout, all tell tale signs of good times had, she has been played and cherished but well taken care of and in excellent shape overall for its age.
Gigging pros, recording wizards, and tone chasers alike: This isn't just a guitar – it's your next obsession, blending jaw-dropping aesthetics with killer sound in a package that's built to inspire. Don't let this rare icon slip away; make it yours today and elevate your music to legendary status!
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
