Hi There community

I have a fender Stratocaster Custom Shop and i don´t know anything about her specs!

I´ve emailed Jeff Bielke from the Consumer Relations Representative Fender Musical Instruments Corp. at USA, with pics of the guitar, and the Answer was: Though we make many similar models, the guitar you have was made by Fender Japan, we’re actually two entirely separate entities. Unfortunately, we have no access to their information.

So... Here I am.

Does anybody Know any Info and Specs AbouT this Guitar?

Here is the Pictures of Her: http://imgur.com/a/whmce

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Hi evanesac,

Beautiful guitar. The Japanese Strats are very nice guitars.

As the email stated, your guitar is not a Custom Shop Guitar. Your guitar was made in Japan, and according to the Fender dating info, the serial number T + 6 digits, indicates that it was made 1994 to 1995.

I see no custom shop logo on that strat and no cert so I am thinking it is a normal Japanese nice flame though!
The one flame top your link points to is 1996 MIA.
Where did you draw the conclusion on that page Custom shop made in Japan?
There are Japanese custom editions though.
Here is some history

I'm pretty sure the necks on the fotoflames were also flamed. Yours isn't far as I can see.
