🚨 💙 Sonic Blue Texas Tornado – Fender Japan 2002 ST57–70 TX – Ready to Blow Minds! 💙🚨
This ain’t just a Strat… this is a blue-blooded, Texas-powered tone machine straight from one of the golden eras of Fender Japan.
It sports a jaw-dropping Sonic Blue finish that looks like it was dipped in electric sky and polished by the gods of shimmer. It’s vibrant, it’s punchy, and it turns heads faster than a Texas two-step. In near-mint condition for a 2002 guitar, this beauty has aged like fine whiskey — gracefully, with very little wear on her. Clearly living her life as a closet queen. That said, we are human, if something very small can be overseen, if tiny marks, dings or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
Under the hood? Texas Special pickups — the real deal. These bad boys deliver that famous hot-rodded vintage sparkle with extra grit and authority. Think creamy cleans that chime like bells, and overdriven leads that snarl and sing with serious midrange muscle. Whether you’re channeling SRV, playing snappy country bends, or unleashing modern crunch, these pickups bring the heat and never back down.
The guitar has been professionally set up and dialed in for optimum tone, playability, and intonation. The neck is smooth, fast, and comfortable with that classic Strat contour. The tremolo system is silky, dive-bomb ready, and includes the original tremolo arm. Every note rings true, every bend feels effortless — this thing plays and sounds like a dream.
She comes protected in her original Fender gig bag, ready for the road or the stage.
Don’t sleep on this Texas Special in Sonic Blue. She’s rare, she’s killer, and she’s begging to make your other guitars jealous.
Serious players only — if you’re ready to blue the competition away and crank up some serious Lone Star tone, this Fender Japan ST57–70 TX is your ticket.
DM for details, photos, or to make her yours before she’s gone faster than a prairie wind! 🎸💙

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small family owned and run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling, returns without restocking fees or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
