NGD - Fender Strat content

[Jakem]

I was on a vacation in Japan and found this killer Ishibashi Music factory special run Strat; Modern C, 42mm nut width, narrow tall frets, push/pull tonepot for splitting the hum, alder body with flame maple top… What a killer MIJ Strat with flawless finish/construction!

That's one of the most intense tops I've ever seen on a Fender. Sweet score!

Indeed! The Ishibashi Ochanomizu shop had one of these in stock but luckily I had noticed this on their website. The salesman made a call and arranged me this guitar for the next day from the Ishibashi warehouse. It weights 3.43kg/7.56lbs and sounds huge.
