Description
Original ST-55N Stratocaster replica made by Tokai
This model is a copy of a Fender Strat from the 50s. The head and pickguard specifications are from the 50s, but since it was announced in the 70s, it has a strange look with natural coloring that would not have been found on the original 50s.
This is a Japan vintage guitar.
Pickups may have been replaced.
There is a dark stain on the fingerboard edge. Overall, there are scratches, dents, and rust on the metal.
The neck is slightly twisted.
There is chatter on the first string high fret due to fret wear.
