Description

Recommended used items!
A Fender USA American Vintage '56 Stratocaster has arrived as a recommended used item! It was manufactured in 2013.
This lipstick features a beautiful, delicate Shell Pink color!

Featuring key models that built a glorious history from the 1950s to the 1960s, this book meticulously and professionally explores and analyzes the innovative US guitar-making that can be considered the roots of Fender.

This project went beyond a simple upgrade of the current model, embarking on a daunting journey to completely overhaul the production process. It began with collecting guitars from various eras and meticulously examining everything from the body and neck shapes to every single screw. To create parts that were as close to the real thing as possible, 1950s tools were restored. Pickups were developed that reflected the specifications and sound of each era. Neck shapes and edges were precisely measured to faithfully reproduce the characteristics of each period. The standard and custom color finishes were also re-evaluated.

The All New American Vintage series revisits its origins while simultaneously forging a new history. It vividly revives that era of excitement and enthusiasm. In 1956, the Stratocaster was still a new instrument. Since its birth in 1954, the neck shape had been thick and rounded, but it was around this time that it gradually began to become triangular. This still-rounded triangular neck would later be called the "soft V shape" and would be praised and loved by many guitarists. The edges are also rounded, resulting in a unique yet comfortable neck shape.

This was also the period when the body material switched from ash to alder. (Ash continued to be used for the blonde finish. In this model, the White Blonde also uses ash.) The deeply contoured body is also characteristic of this period. Furthermore, the wing-shaped string guides and Alnico 3 pickups, which also began to be adopted around this time, are faithfully reproduced, bringing the 1956 Stratocaster back to life in the modern era.

Retail
- Deeply contoured body - Thick, one-piece maple neck with a "soft V" shape and comfortable rounded edges (one of the most highly regarded and popular types of Stratocaster necks)
- Special pickups and a modern 5-way switch - Accurately reproduced vintage bridge saddles and tuning peg placement - 1-ply, 8-hole, white pickguard - Reproduced vintage colors

We've just received a recommended used item! It's a 2013 model.
There are some minor scratches, pick scratches, paint discoloration, paint thinning, scratches on the back of the neck, and tarnishing of the parts, but none of these affect playability. It is in fairly good condition. We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately.

The end pin has been replaced with a Schaller locking pin. The receiving end for the locking pin is also included.
The original locking pin is not included.

The frets have been leveled and are ready to use. Approximately 85% of the fret life remains.
The nuts are in good working order and function normally. The truss rods also function correctly for normal adjustments.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

The weight is approximately 3.39 kg. It has a well-balanced design that is easy to use.

Accessories include the original tweed hard case, tremolo arm, two lock pin receivers, a wrench for the bridge, a warranty card from the former distributor, Yamano Music, and a Japanese instruction manual.
