Fender Japan 1984-1987 ST54 EXTRAD

"I want to get my hands on that tight definition and transparent tone of the very first 1954 Stratocaster, with its ash body and V-shaped neck."
"However, genuine 1950s vintage models are so expensive that you could buy a house with the money, making them unrealistic, and current models don't have the same passion or the level of craftsmanship that was achieved back then."
Are you looking for a Stratocaster that offers genuine quality worthy of being called a lifelong investment, and the ultimate sense of security you can rely on wherever you take it?

The brilliance of that moment in 1954 when the history of the Stratocaster began. The powerful attack of the ash body and the sharp, crisp sound produced by the maple V-shaped neck are the eternal starting point for guitarists all over the world.

In the mid-1980s, Fender Japan poured all of its technology and pride into creating the legendary EXTRAD series, a top-of-the-line line born from the philosophy of surpassing the original and creating the ultimate vintage reproduction.
Now, approximately 40 years after its manufacture, it has been revered by collectors and professional musicians both domestically and internationally for its craftsmanship and sound quality that surpasses even the original vintage models, and it is a rare and exceptional item on the market.

Among the EXTRAD models boasting the highest quality, the 1954 model, which is particularly popular, has arrived. This 1984-1987 Fender Japan ST54 EXTRAD, whose wood has matured into a perfect tone over nearly 40 years, is a testament to the condensed expertise of carefully selected materials and craftsmanship, living up to its reputation as the highest quality.

Both the body and neck feature an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, with absolutely no compromises made.RecruitThe wood's natural breath is preserved, and the vibrations from the moment you play it are directly transmitted to your entire body.

Luxuriously crafted from carefully selected, high-quality ash wood, this guitar boasts a solid weight that provides a stable core and tight attack to the sound, delivering a clear tone that never gets lost, whether clean or distorted.

A V-shaped neck with a subtle, beautiful wood grain that could easily be mistaken for a vintage piece.RecruitThe snug fit and exquisite grip eliminate any stress during playing.

The pickups come standard with reliable USA-made parts. They transform the superb natural resonance of the ash and maple wood into a delicate yet fat vintage Fender tone.

Approximately 40 years have passed since its manufacture between 1984 and 1987. The structure, carefully and precisely assembled by craftsmen during the golden age of Japanese vintage watches, has been given the ultimate spice by time, resulting in the current model.NewIt achieves a depth of sound that simply cannot be produced otherwise.

The EXTRAD series, representing the pinnacle of Fender Japan's production, had limited production and order volumes at the time, and it's certain that the number available on the market will continue to decrease. We confidently recommend it to players who truly desire an instrument of absolute quality that they can rely on in any live or recording setting, an instrument that will be a lifelong companion throughout their musical journey.

EXTRAD's true value: Japan's pride has proven itself to be among the world's best.
Experience the miraculous ash tone and supreme playability cultivated over 40 years.
