The tobacco burst finish, together with black scratch plate\/pick ups and rosewood neck is a great looking combination.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe previous owner was given it by a friend who ran a guitar store in Japan - it was NOS when he acquired it and it has clearly been cherished since. Also shown in the photos are the original soft Fender bag, hang tag and Japanese owner's manual. It’s near factory fresh though there are some minor cosmetic issues (such as a small 3 - 5mm ding on the bottom edge of the guitar body and a couple of very minor buckle rash scratches).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese early MIJ Squier Fenders were handbuilt by Fujigen for Fender and many are prized for their quality of craftsmanship. However, in the world of guitars, not all are equal, but this one is exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe luthier who prepared it for us had this to say about the neck: \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is a rare neck that feels amazing\" - more detail below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe radius measures smaller than 7.25. Whilst this is uncommon it's not unheard for guitars from this period from Japan as all the necks are hand finished rather than machined. This, coupled with years of play and potential fretboard edge rolling has tightened the radius slightly smaller than the Fender vintage spec of 7.25\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt's Super Vintage if you like. What this means from a player's perspective is that you get super comfortable open chord positions especially if you prefer to fret using the thumb over \"Hendrix style\" technique. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSerial JV71827\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 4kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57254429589881,"sku":"JV71827","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/Squier_Strat_JV71827.png?v=1778596545","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/fender-squier-stratocaster-tobacco-burst-near-mint-for-sale-jv71827","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
