## Description
This is a Fender Japan Stratocaster purchased new at a music store in Shinjuku in 1987. *One owner item

I purchased it without knowing at the time that it was part of the EXTRAD series. The model STS54's specifications are unclear to me.

The tuning pegs, selector switch, capacitor, tremolo spring, and nut have been replaced, but the pickups remain original.

Please assess the condition of the guitar based on the images provided. There is one noticeable paint chip on the body.

The neck has a slight bow and the frets are noticeably worn.
I've modified the tone circuit to a blender setup, and occasionally the front pickup has poor contact. *It is unclear whether this is due to the wiring, pickup, or other causes.

The weight is approximately 4.2 kg.

The tremolo arm is missing, but I will include the tremolo spring cover, which is not shown in the images.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. However, please understand that I may not be able to answer very technical inquiries.

The guitar will be carefully packed in guitar-specific cardboard after removing the strings for shipping.

This is an old item, and is meant for buyers who understand vintage products.
Please refrain from bidding if you do not agree to no claims, no returns, and no cancellations.

## Collector note
The Fender Japan STS54 EXTRAD model from 1987 stands out in the realm of vintage electric guitars due to its distinctive construction and the era's craftsmanship, specifically from Fujigen, known for high-quality builds. Collectors often appreciate one-owner items like this, particularly given the original pickups and the historical significance of the EXTRAD series, which was produced in limited quantities during a unique period in Japan's guitar industry. While the fret wear and modifications affect its desirability, the guitar's provenance and original components lend it a nostalgic value. Pricing around ¥245,000 reflects typical market trends for similarly aged instruments in Japan, emphasizing the enduring interest in authentic vintage models.
