Made in Japan Traditional series derived by combining the aesthetics of Fender's traditional musical instrument production with the sophisticated craftsmanship of Japan. Fender's orthodox DNA is a reliable Made in Japan quality. I will be resurrected. Made in Japan Traditional 50s Stratocaster® has a gloss finish basswood body. A 9.5-inch radius "U" shaped maple neck with 21 vintage-style frets provides a classic performance that is unique to the Traditional series. The 6-saddle vintage style Synchronized Tremolo bridge, and the original pickups selected for the Traditional series, produce realistic, musical vintage tones.
