Made by the Fujigen factory in the late 1980's as part of the famed Fender "E Series", this ST57 model was the base model '57 reissue from Fender Japan.
Basswood body with a maple neck shaped with the classic '57 slim C neck profile (7.25" radius, 43mm nut, 648mm scale length), it weighs 3.5kg's. Seems all original with a factory 5-way switch, Japanese ST-VINTAGE single coils, a die-cast bridge, vintage style tuners and Fender stamped saddles.
Good vintage condition for an 80's build as pictured with only a few dings/bumps as pictured. There's some slight peeling of the lacquer on the fretboard but nothing that impacts on playability. The finish is clean and there are no breaks or repairs. Given a full setup and service prior to listing including a fret polish and truss adjustment, plenty of life in the frets and a nice straight neck with low action.
