Fender Japan STR-FR CRS

Descrizione

It looks, sounds and feels like a high-end American Stratocaster, but this guitar was made in Japan. The Fender STR-FR CRS is a modern superstrat that you can usually only buy in Japan but which is now available in Europe as a very limited edition. This model is characterised by its extremely stable double locking tremolo bridge with locking nut, its versatile HSS pickup configuration, its fast 22-fret maple neck and its beautiful Cherry Sunburst finish.

Fender Japan STR-FR CRS: construction and pickups

The body of this Japanese Stratocaster was made of alder, which is light of weight and produces a rich, full sound. Its neck is bolted on to the body and made of a single piece of maple, featuring 22 super jumbo frets and a flat radius for effortless bends. Pickup-wise, this Fender Japan STR-FR is equipped with two tight, clear single-coils in the neck and middle position, plus a powerful fat humbucker at the bridge. It is a Strat of all trades and brilliant in all of them.

Fender Japan guitars

Japanese Fenders, in this case made by the Dyna Gakki factory, are high-end instruments that were never meant to travel abroad. These hand-built guitars were made for the Japanese market only yet are highly coveted all over the world for their combination of vintage design and extremely high quality. They offer the same build quality as the professional Fender American Standard models at a very reasonable price.

• Please note: Japanese model, very limited edition.
