Straight outta Fuji-gen, this candy apple red mid-90's beauty is all class! Pretty sure if you asked a child of any age to draw a picture of a guitar, this is exactly what they'd draw. This is the guitar. Classic. Timeless. Iconic.

Everyone talks about American made Fenders, but these 90's Japanese made Fenders could give most modern American builds a run for their money. This thing plays like butter. It's got all the classic strat accoutrements: alder body, maple C-profile neck (0.95"-0.97"), maple fretboard, 7.25" radius, and 1.67" nut width.

It's still got the stock pups in it, the trio of single coils we all know and love. Starting from the bridge, they're rated at 6.38k, 6.08k, and 5.46k, respectively.

This guitar has been lightly used, and shows some minor signs of playwear, some dings, dents, and chips, as you'd expect from a guitar with a few decades of gigs under its belt! Our expert luthiers here at EMS have given it a fresh fret level and setup, and ensured that it'll arrive in your hands with a clean bill of health, fast, easy action, level frets, immaculate intonation, and zero dead notes or splats.

It doesn't include a case, but we'll make sure to pack this sweet baby nice and safe and ship it to you lightning fast! Feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have about it!
