Fender Takashi Kato Stratocaster Paradise Blue 2022

Description: Hello, I will support your music life from Japan.I will do my utmost for the service you satisfy. Item Description Fender Takashi Kato Stratocaster Paradise Blue 2022 Since their debut, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is Japan's leading ska band, and has performed in 31 countries around the world, not just in Japan, and has participated in many of the world's largest music festivals such as Coachella. This is a signature model developed in pursuit of a vintage style under the supervision of guitarist Takashi Kato, based on the 1965s Stratocaster commonly known as "Driftwood", which has been mainly used for many years. Judging from the serial number, it is 2022s. A traditional wood material with an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Neck area is painted with satin nitrocellulose lacquer, approximately 41 mm nut width, thin 1965 "C" shape neck, gentle 7.25 inch fingerboard radius and narrow tall frets while faithfully reproducing vintage grip feeling. This provides smooth playability. Also, by designing the neck pocket deep, we have recreated the tension that is unique to vintage due to being worn through refrets. The pickup uses a Custom Wired Vintage Style Single Coil developed specifically for this machine. Special wiring creates rich overtones and edges similar to machine-wound, yet hand-wound. In order to achieve both a light rhythm guitar and a thick lead tone, the neck and middle pickups are from the mid-60s, and the bridge pickup is from the 50s to early 60s. The "Paradise Blue" color, which is the biggest feature of this machine, is a carefully selected original color that reproduces the unique color tone that has deepened over time and has a stronger metallic tone. The patent pattern transition logo used in the head logo from late 1964 to mid-1965 has also been reprinted for this machine. This is a guitar that Kato, who is familiar with vintage Stratocasters, wants more guitarists to experience its charm. Although there are some small scratches and scratches, there is no major damage, and the exterior is in good condition considering it is a close car. Also, the decal of the ORIGINAL Contour Body has come off. The vintage-specific tension is reproduced by designing the neck pocket deeply, and combined with the gentle fingerboard radius, the overall tension is relaxed. About 70% of the frets remain, and there are no visible dents or wear on the frets, so you can play without extreme chatter or clogging of the sound through the amplifier.
