Limited Edition 2010 Fender Japan ST-57 Stratocaster in Cherry Sunburst – Vintage '57 Vibes with Japanese Precision!


Strat Lovers, This One's a Gem! Dive into the golden age of rock with this circa 2010 Fender Japan ST-57, a faithful reissue of the legendary 1957 Stratocaster. Crafted during Fender Japan's acclaimed MIJ (Made in Japan) era, this limited edition stunner boasts a rare Cherry Sunburst finish—a vibrant, fiery burst that fades from deep cherry red at the edges to a warm amber center, evoking the spirit of '50s icons like Buddy Holly or early Clapton. Not your everyday Strat; this one's built for players who crave authentic vintage tone with modern reliability, all wrapped in a package that's as collectible as it is playable.


Body and Build: Classic Contour, Timeless Tone  

The ST-57 features a lightweight basswood body (or alder in premium variants) contoured for comfort, delivering that signature Strat snap and resonance without weighing you down. The double-cutaway design ensures effortless access to the upper frets, while the glossy polyester finish protects the eye-popping Cherry Sunburst, highlighting the wood's subtle grain for a premium, aged look. Paired with a bolt-on maple neck sporting a vintage "C" or oval profile, it feels buttery smooth in your hands—perfect for bending strings or flying through scales. The maple fretboard shines with a tight 7.25" vintage radius, 21 vintage-style frets, and dot inlays that guide you through every lick with old-school precision. At a 25.5" scale length, it offers that familiar Fender twang, balancing bright highs with punchy mids for endless versatility.


Electronics: Sparkling Single-Coil Magic  

Loaded with three MIJ single-coil pickups (ceramic in standard models or alnico for that extra vintage warmth in VSP editions), this Strat sings with crystal-clear cleans, gritty overdrive, and everything in between. The 5-way switch lets you explore those iconic quacky in-between positions, while master volume and dual tone controls give you fine-tuned command over your sound. Hardware is rock-solid: a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with a diecast block for stable tuning and expressive whammy action, plus Kluson-style tuners on the classic headstock to keep you locked in during marathon sessions.


Condition: Lightly Loved, Ready to Rock  

This beauty shows only light typical playwear from years of passionate playing— Frets are in excellent shape with plenty of life left, the neck is straight as an arrow with a responsive truss rod, and the electronics hum-free and fully functional. It's not pristine museum fodder; it's a player's instrument that's been broken in just right, enhancing its mojo and playability.


Why This Fender Japan ST-57? 

This limited edition Cherry Sunburst turns heads on stage or in the studio, blending '57 soul with Japanese craftsmanship for tones that cut through mixes like a knife. Whether you're chasing surf rock shimmer, bluesy bends, or indie jangle, this Strat delivers the goods with effortless style. A true collector's piece for Fender aficionados, it's rare to find one in this finish and condition—don't miss your chance to own a slice of Strat history!
