For your consideration, we have a Fender Contemporary Stratocaster, model ST-562 in very good condition. Built in Japan at the now legendary FujiGen Gakki factory, the Fender Contemporary series of Strat's and Tele's were manufactured from 1984-1987, and were among the first Fender branded guitars to be exported to the US. Designed to appeal to the "Superstrat" crowd, this particular guitar has the traditional triple single coil configuration, with a Schaller System I vibrato unit and corresponding locking nut, similar the Floyd Rose systems that were the rage at the time. This Strat has been modified with Fender SCN Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Mod Shop pickups/ and 3 ply pearloid pickguard and back plate. You can call it modified or you can call it upgraded. I suppose the answer to that question depends on if you personally like the difference between what's being offered vs one that all original. ** Please see all photos, there are some dings/ bumps and bruises from play wear over the years, for those that are more particular about the cosmetics please request more photo's that's no problem at all. Also notice that the non-original pickguard has been cut/ trimmed a bit to fit around the Fender System I trem.**

The maple neck has a medium C profile, with the faintest hint of a D, that leans a little towards the slim side of things, and facilitates fast playing very well. The rosewood fretboard sports pearl dot inlays, and 21 medium-jumbo frets. The headstock boasts a Fender logo, "Made in Japan" designation, a locking nut which is part of the System I trem, and a set of Fender Japan branded chrome Gotoh tuners that turn smoothly and hold pitch well. The heel of the neck has the clear ST-562 model designation stamp, along with one official Fender branded shim in the neck pocket, and the body is routed in the traditional fashion, with three individual single coil route.
