With its one-piece maple neck, 2-Tone Sunburst finish and 3.35 kg weight, this is a player-grade instrument with the fit and finish that made MIJ Fenders so highly regarded, and the factory model stamps and dated neck make it easy to document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50069862482162,"sku":"FEN_ST57LH_0907","price":138200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_86cf5183-d8d6-4f07-968b-4d5049c8e06e.jpg?v=1789186504","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/1991-fender-japan-st-57l-lefty-left-handed-stratocaster-sunburst-mij-fujigen","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
