The Fender MIJ Mid 80's Stratocaster is a testament to the golden era of Japanese craftsmanship that continues to resonate among guitar enthusiasts. This electric guitar blends vintage aesthetics with modern playability, making it a must-have for both collectors and active musicians looking for a reliable workhorse. Its Alder body offers a balanced tone that pairs beautifully with the Maple neck, providing a comfortable and familiar feel. The Rosewood fingerboard, adorned with white dot inlays, ensures smooth navigation across the frets.

Delve into the signature Stratocaster sound with its set of three Hybrid II Custom Voiced single-coil pickups, delivering a versatile range of tones that can effortlessly transition from soulful blues to searing rock leads. The 5-way switch allows you to explore these tonal possibilities, while the master volume and dual tone controls give you fine-tuned sound sculpting capabilities. For those who love a touch of vintage flair, the 2-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style locking tuners bring both stability and style to your playing experience.

Verified via Photo

This photo, reportedly from 1986, is claimed to feature Yuri Kasparyan holding a Squier Stratocaster with a standard SSS pickup configuration. If the date is accurate, this guitar would be a mid-'80s Made in Japan (MIJ) model, known for its quality. Verification of the photo's date could clarify the guitar's identity and avoid confusion with other Stratocaster submissions.
