Description
This used Fender Parts Stratocaster pairs a mid-1980s Made in Japan neck with a Lake Placid Blue body for a vibey, road-worn build that plays well and carries vintage character. The MIJ neck, known for its quality craftsmanship during Fender Japan's golden era, features a maple profile with a rosewood fretboard that's been leveled at some point-still has life in the frets and plays comfortably. While the body is of unknown origin, the "LPB" stamp inside suggests Lake Placid Blue as its original finish, giving this build a classic Fender aesthetic with blacked-out hardware and a 1-ply black pickguard for a stealthy look.
Electronics are budget-grade, with three unbranded single-coil pickups, dime-sized pots, and a basic 5-way switch delivering functional Strat tones, though this would make a great mod platform if you're chasing higher-end sounds. Black economy hardware rounds out the setup, including a 2-point tremolo bridge. It's a solid parts guitar that balances a true vintage neck with straightforward components-professionally inspected and setup by our techs.
Cosmetic Condition:
Honest wear throughout, appropriate for the age of the neck. Some scuffs and dings on the body and light surface marks on the pickguard. Nothing affecting function or stability. The inlays have some wear, with a chipped
Neck:
Mid-80s Fender MIJ maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. 21 frets, leveled with visible wear but still playable. Comfortable medium C-style profile. "Made in Japan" sticker on the inside of the neck plate. Neck is straight, truss rod functions properly.
Body:
Generic parts body with Lake Placid Blue finish and single-ply black pickguard. Standard Strat contours and routing. Black economy hardware and vintage-style tremolo bridge.
Electronics:
No-name single-coil pickups (SSS), dime-sized pots, and entry-level 5-way switch. All electronics function properly but may benefit from upgrades.
Case:
Hardshell Case.
