General
Left-handed vintage instruments are pretty hard to come by. What's more, if you do find one, it's usually nearly impossible to afford. That's why Fender Japan decided to release reissues of left-handed vintage Stratocasters, including this one: an affordable classic from 1968 with a beautifully aged Vintage White finish. The Fender Stratocaster Japan '68 Vintage White MN is a replica of the original '68 model.
Fender Stratocaster Japan '68 Vintage White with maple neck
With a string nut width of 40 mm, the '68 Stratocaster is certainly different from most other strats, as their string nuts are usually 2 or 3 mm wider. The advantage of this slender maple neck is that it provides more comfort, especially combined with a thin C profile and old-school 7.25" fingerboard radius. What's not too old-school, however, is its sound. With three Texas Special pickups, this Japanese Strat has a sound that brings to mind Stevie Ray!

So if you're looking for an affordable Fender Telecaster with vintage specs and a remarkable look, don't wait too long; order yours quickly!

Wrote the following about Fender Japan Classic '68 Stratocaster LH Vintage White MN
De pickups zouden volgens Bax Texas Specials zijn maar dit heb ik op het web niet terug kunnen vinden. Er wordt altijd gesproken over 'standaard Fender Single Coils'. Het zal me verder een zorg zijn want ze klinken gewoon heel erg mooi, open en met heel weinig bijgeluiden. De vijfstanden-schakelaar voelt beter aan dan die op mijn USA model. Vreemd, maar het is zo. Ook de potmeters zijn soepeler. Aanzwellen van tonen is een eitje en geeft echt dat 'cello'-achtige gevoel.
Ik heb de vijf standen vernoemd naar enige van mijn favoriete Strat spelers:
Halselement: Jimi Hendrix
Tussenstand Hals-Midden: Stevie Ray Vaughan
Middenelement: Eric Clapton
Tussenstand Midden-Brug: Mark Knopfler
Brugelement: Hank B. Marvin
Advies: mocht dit instrument weer verkrijgbaar zijn, niet twijfelen. Top!!
