Fender Stratocaster Traditional Japan 60s LH RW Lake Placid Blue

A Traditional 60s Stratocaster: Fender DNA, Japanese precision

The Made in Japan Traditional series combines classic Fender aesthetics with renowned Japanese craftsmanship known for its consistency. This Traditional 60s Stratocaster embraces the model's fundamentals: glossy finishes, vintage hardware, and playability designed to recapture "old school" vibes, while maintaining more modern choices (9.5" radius) to meet today's expectations.

For which guitarists and styles?

Designed for serious beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players, this left-handed Strat is an excellent versatile playing tool. The single-coil style tones are perfect for blues, funk, pop, classic rock, indie, and surf. The narrow nut (1.615" / 41.02 mm) promotes quick handling, especially if you enjoy necks with a "vintage" feel without being too bulky.

The sound

With its basswood body and 3 Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat pickups, this guitar delivers the expected Stratocaster tone: clear attack, bright highs, balanced low-mids, and excellent chord definition. The 5-position selector switch grants access to iconic tones, notably the intermediate positions (2 and 4) with their scooped and percussive character, ideal for funky rhythms and pop arpeggios. The vintage 6-saddle synchronized tremolo completes the package with a musical response for expressive vibratos and subtle nuances.

Recommended compatible accessories

For transport and protection, a hard case is referenced by the manufacturer: Classic Series Stratocaster/Telecaster Wood Hardshell Case (P/N 0996106306, not included). Regarding strings, the guitar is set up for a .009-.042 gauge in Nickel Plated Steel, an excellent choice to maintain a flexible feel and typical Strat snap.
