Here for sale we have a Fender MIJ International Color Stratocaster in Maui Blue finish. Made in Japan in 2022, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Basswood body, Maple neck and 21 Medium-Jumbo fret Maple fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with Nickel​/​Chrome hardware including a 6-point vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo bridge and Fender vintage “F” Stamped tuning machines. The pickups installed are a trio of Fender Vintage-Style Strat single-coils, wired to a 5 way blade switch, master volume, neck​/​middle tone and bridge tone controls. The Gloss Maple neck plays very well, with a ‘U’ profile that fills the hand whilst also sitting comfortably in the hand. The 9.5" fingerboard radius paired with the Medium Jumbo frets for the modern player provide an extremely easy playing surface. The classic Stratocaster body contours feel as comfortable as ever, with the dual cutaways providing excellent access to the upper frets. The trio of Fender Vintage-Style Strat Single-Coil pickups in this guitar provide all of the chime and articulation that made the Stratocaster a legendary instrument. Crystalline and bell-like, the pickups provide a crisp and clear tone with plenty of the spank that you would expect from a Strat. Understated lows give way to a smooth mid range and singing high frequencies that will cut through any mix. The traditional Stratocaster control layout is as functional as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound without being intrusive.
