Finished in gorgeous Fiesta Red with matching gold hardware, this 1992 Made in Japan ST-57 instantly brings to mind Hank Marvin's legendary Stratocaster. It's a faithful reissue of the classic 1957 Strat, and this particular example has been kept remarkably clean for its age. A genuine head-turner that plays every bit as beautifully as it looks.

Fender's Japanese-built reissues earned their reputation the honest way: by getting the details right. The ST-57 recreates the 1957 Stratocaster that helped define the electric guitar. What sets this one apart is the set of Fender Fullerton USA single coils under the parchment pickguard, giving it a genuine American voice at the heart of a beautifully made Japanese instrument.

If you look closely, you'll find some light playwear on this Strat. Yet it has clearly been very well cared for and is exceptionally clean throughout. The Fiesta Red finish still looks fantastic, and the gold hardware completes that unmistakable Hank Marvin flair.

Plug in and the three Fullerton single coils deliver everything you want from a Strat: sparkling highs and a warm, vocal midrange. The C-shaped maple neck and vintage 7.25" fingerboard radius feel instantly familiar.

This instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
