FS or Trade: 2001 CRAFTED in Japan 62 reissue Strat (Daphne Blue) - aberdeen-music

Great looking and sounding strat. Genuine reason for sale. "Crafted in Japan" was for domestic market only (I imported her in 2001) - these are generally considered to be as good has the American reissues (and come loaded with US Texas Special PUs as standard) - see Serials, dates of manufacture, Fender Stratocasters, Made in Japan, Crafted in Japan and CIJ vs. MIJ ... what's the difference? - The Gear Page for some background info.

Used ones generally go for around £550 (see Far East Guitars, used Fender Japan guitars for sale) - I'm looking for offers around £500 for quick sale or will possibly trade for similarly-priced/quality bass guitar. Pics available, plus you're welcome to try it out in our central Aberdeen rehearsal room.

How do you fancy a swap for a Crafted in Japan '62 jazz bass in seafoam green , I think it's a 50th anniversary one (1994)

Has been fitted with vintage (reverse + rivet) fender tuners , VGC , one small ding

Andy,

I may well be interested. We have a rehearsal on Sunday at 4pm - fancy meeting up at say 3:30 with both guitars? To arrange you can email me at spikeevans@tiscali.co.uk

Cheers,
Spike
