🌊🎸 2010 Fender Japan ST-57 Sonic Blue Strat – Limited Run Beauty in Near-Mint Condition! 🎸🌊
Here’s your chance to own a genuine Fender Japan ST-57 in the rare and stunning Sonic Blue. This is a true collector’s favorite — a faithful ‘57-style Stratocaster reissue that nails vintage looks, feel, and tone with that legendary Fender Japan build quality.
Dressed in that vibrant, eye-catching Sonic Blue finish (a limited color that always turns heads), this guitar looks fresh, vibrant, and ready to steal the show. The small headstock, crisp white pickguard, and period-correct details make it a dead-ringer for a vintage Strat with far better reliability and consistency.
Vintage-Correct Specs:
• Classic ‘57-inspired alder body
• One-piece maple neck with comfortable C Profile
• Maple fingerboard with vintage-style frets and black dot inlays
• Three vintage-voiced single-coil pickups delivering sparkling cleans, famous Strat quack, and dynamic touch-sensitive leads
• Vintage-style tremolo and tuners
Condition:
Near-mint for its age — this 16-year-old Strat is exceptionally clean. It shows only very light, tasteful play wear. No major dings, dents, or repairs. The finish still glows with that deep Sonic Blue luster, and everything remains 100% factory original. A true time-capsule example that’s been extremely well cared for.
Professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability — silky low action, perfect intonation, smooth neck, and excellent tuning stability. It plays like a dream right out of the case and inspires you every time you pick it up.
Whether you’re a collector chasing rare Fender Japan gems or a player who wants a fantastic-sounding, great-looking Strat with vintage vibe and modern dependability, this limited-run Sonic Blue ST-57 is hard to beat.
Don’t sleep on this one — Sonic Blue ST-57s in this condition don’t come around often!

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.
