Fender Japan ST54-55 2TS w/ Monty's Guitars '54 Stratocaster Pickups Set

Fender Japan's Stratocaster "ST54-55", which is unique to our store and has a significantly upgraded pickup grade, is now in stock!The color is sunburst and the weight is 3.57kg.

This is a Strat with the I serial "MADE IN JAPAN" and was manufactured between 1989 and 1990.Because it is built in by Fujigen, it maintains stable quality and high cost performance, while providing modern performance performance that can be adapted to a variety of styles.

"ST54-55" is a model that reproduces the 1954 Stratocaster, and uses classic wood materials such as a basswood body, a U-shaped maple neck, and a 21F maple fingerboard.Controls are simple with a 5way selector and 1VOL/2TONE.Tone has no effect on the rear.Adopts a vintage style with the FENDER stamp on the bridge saddle, and the pickguard is 1-ply white.

At our store, we have replaced the original pickup with the "Monty's Guitars '54 Stratocaster Pickups Set."The selector, pot, and capacitor have also been upgraded!
(Please note that the original pickup is not included)

“Monty’s Guitars” is a high-end pickup brand from London, UK.Founder Matt Gleeson has thoroughly analyzed vintage pickups and rebuilt the tone for modern players, bringing out the best performance regardless of genre.

The '54 Stratocaster Pickup is a model that faithfully reproduces the original set from when Stratocaster pickups were first produced.It has been reborn as a practical site specification.

It has a mid-range character reminiscent of a Telecaster, which is common to excellent mid-50s Strat pickups, and adds exquisite fatness to the rise of the sound unique to maple fingerboards.However, it does not compromise clarity or harmonic content.The thickness of the midrange also provides the power to drive the amplifier firmly when needed, creating a thick and clear drive sound with a vintage feel.

True to the original, these pickups use hand-chamfered magnets to accurately recreate the 1954 magnetic stagger.

Like old Fender pickups, all Monty's Stratocaster pickups are only "partially potted."This frees up the center of the coil for a more responsive tone.

Please take this opportunity to try out this precious Fender Japan, which has been upgraded and is unique to our store, and is equipped with a pickup that has the tone from the oldest period and has been finished with practical specifications that can be used in the field.
