1995-96 Fender Japan ST57-TX

This 1995–1996 Fender Japan ST57-TX is a premium "U-Serial" reissue that blends classic 1957 aesthetics with factory-hot-rodded performance. Finished in a timeless Black with a one-piece maple "V" profile neck, this model was specifically designed to house factory-installed Fender Texas Special pickups. These overwound coils deliver the punchy midrange and signature "Texas Blues" growl made famous by players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, offering a significant output boost over standard vintage single-coils. Built with the exceptional precision of mid-90s Japanese craftsmanship, this Strat features a resonant alder body and vintage-correct hardware, providing a professional-grade playing experience with a distinctive tonal bite. While there is slight tarnish on the hardware, this guitar appears to be unplayed - it still has original sticker and the plastic wrap on the pickguard!
