1988 Fender Japan ST54-140 EXTRAD Stratocaster - 2-Tone Sunburst
Rare 1988 Fender Japan ST54-140 EXTRAD, from Fender Japan's top-tier Extra Traditional series. Built as a premium recreation of a 1954 Stratocaster, the EXTRAD range sat above the regular Vintage Series and was produced in comparatively small numbers using selected materials, lacquer finishes and USA electronics.
This example is identified by matching factory STS-54 and circled-S markings to both the neck heel and body pocket, with the neck pencil-dated 8-8-88. It carries E908544 Made in Japan serial numbering and period USA CTS electronics, with one visible pot dated to the 50th week of 1986.
Features a beautifully figured one-piece maple neck with pronounced natural flame figuring, consistent with the exceptionally high-grade timber selection for which the EXTRAD series was known, 2-tone sunburst finish, single-ply 8-hole pickguard and vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo.
The original USA single-coil pickups have been replaced with Lace Sensors. The neck and bridge are a matching pair of early USA-made Fender-AGI Lace Sensors, with a different-production USA Lace Sensor fitted in the middle position.
