A secondhand Fender Made In Japan ST-STD (Stratocaster Standard) in Sonic Blue. This is a transitional era model built in the Dyna Gakki factory during Fender Japan's final independent years.

This guitar has been upgraded with a pre-wired Custom Shop tortoiseshell pickguard loaded with Custom Shop Fat 50's pickups and Custom Shop electrics including CTS pots etc.
