Authentic Fender DNA meets Japanese precision in the Made in Japan Traditional series, where time-honoured American guitar-making traditions blend seamlessly with Japan's renowned attention to detail. This fusion creates instruments that honour Fender's legacy whilst showcasing the exceptional quality that Japanese craftsmanship is famous for worldwide.
The Made in Japan Traditional 50s Stratocaster showcases a gloss-finished basswood body paired with a 9.5-inch radius maple neck featuring that distinctive "U" profile. With 21 vintage-style frets, this neck configuration provides the classical feel that defines the Traditional series, offering players that authentic 1950s playing sensation.
Sound reproduction comes courtesy of carefully selected original pickups designed specifically for the Traditional series, working in harmony with the 6-saddle vintage-style Synchronised Tremolo bridge to produce those coveted vintage tones that are both realistic and musical. The narrower nut width has been thoughtfully designed with Japanese players in mind, ensuring comfortable playability across all skill levels.
This series represents solid guitar construction combined with thoughtful design choices that respond to genuine player requirements, making it an ideal choice for musicians seeking authentic Fender character backed by Japanese manufacturing excellence.
