Made in Japan Traditional 60s Stratocaster® – Rosewood Fingerboard

This is classic mid-’60s Strat vibe with modern Japanese precision.

A Made in Japan Traditional 60s Stratocaster finished in stunning Lake Placid Blue. The deep metallic blue pops beautifully against the 3-ply mint green pickguard and chrome hardware, giving it that timeless Fender cool factor.

Under the gloss finish sits a resonant basswood body paired with a comfortable “U”-shaped maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The 9.5” radius, 21 vintage-style frets, and slightly narrower nut make it incredibly playable — classic feel with just enough modern comfort. Vintage-style single-coil Strat pickups deliver sparkling cleans, glassy chime, throaty midrange, and that signature quack in the in-between positions. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo is smooth and expressive.

Condition? Near mint. Clean, sharp, and beautifully preserved with virtually no wear. Professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability — low action, perfect intonation, and ready to inspire the second you plug in.

These Made in Japan Traditional models combine authentic Fender DNA with the refined craftsmanship Japanese players and collectors love. Finding one in Lake Placid Blue in this condition is a real treat.

If you’ve been hunting for a versatile, great-playing ’60s-style Strat with classic looks and reliable Japanese quality… this Lake Placid Blue beauty is ready.

Serious Strat players only.

This one won’t stay available long.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has spot on intonation, 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.

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 INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) 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 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.
