I had a pal who needed help and so it ended up getting sold to a store in London. You only miss the good ones when they are gone. It worked out okay in the end as the person I helped out has never forgotten it .

I have a really solid collection of guitars. Several thousand dollars worth of em. Of all of them, my favorite is a 1978 Harmony VA Phantom that my pops ordered out of a J.C. Penny's or Sears catalog. It was made in the Matsumoku factory during the lawsuit era. This thing is an absolute beast of a guitar. It came with original L500 pickups wound by Bill Lawrence himself. I pretty much exclusively use that guitar for slide work since the neck has warped to the point the fretboard needs to be removed and the neck leveled. It's easily cranks out the best leads of any guitar I've heard. Sustains for long enough you could take the guitar off, make a PB&J, eat it then wash it down with a cold glass of milk, and come back to the note still ringing out. Don't sleep on Japanese made guitars. Don't believe me, I dare you to pick up a high end Yamaha!

I got a Japanese strat in 1994, it was literally a chance purchase. I didn’t look at where it was made. Same lake placid blue finish. A guy was selling it to a guitar shop in london, I heard it from the street and came in to see what it was as it sounded amazing. The shop offered him 120 pounds for it. I told him give you 150 and the shop guy said I’ll match that. So just said is 200 ok? He went yup deal done. My son plays it at the moment both of us think it is the best Strat we have ever played. Better than any custom shop. Only difference is mine has a maple neck. One the best guitars I have ever bought. Still not as good as my 1971 law suit SG with P90s bought new even though I could of had a fender or Gibson. I still have gibsons and a fender but the Strat and SG I still reach for first before the expensive stuff. Nice video thanks.

It looks identical to my MIM late 90s strat except for the pickups. With yours, you have the traditional various heights on the pole pieces, with mine, the pole pieces follow the curve of the fretboard. Both are gorgeous guitars and I totally get the love of blue guitars. My MIM strat, my Squire Cabronita and my Ibanez RG!

I own a 2021 MIJ 60's Traditional Strat in Sonic Blue, bought from Thomann last year. It's very similar to yours, as the nut string spacing is narrower as the EU/AM models. Vintage Trem bridge 6-point, Rosewood slab, truss rod end at the base of the neck. The U-shape neck is my absolute favorite feature about this guitar, as I have relatively large hands. The pickups are louder than my Maxican Strat. The other thing i noticed right away and needs "adapting" are the vintage frets, narrow and small. I like them. I can dig in without getting the note out of tune. What I find super funny is that each and every time i pick it up, i play a John Frusciante opening riff and my GF gives me *that* look....

I’d buy this one again

thanks for the great video ! I love your jokes and style! I feel right at home here ! great guitar I'm happy for you! I keep the back plate on, I'm too afraid to get something stuck in the springs while playing. 🫠

cheers!

Nice video ! Recently got a 96 Japanese Strat 62 reissue which is great. Needed a new neck tone pot and I got the second tone pot modded to work on the bridge . Would recommend anyone to check out Japanese fenders . Big snag on Landon’s guitar for me would be the U shaped neck , not a fan . Mines is a 7-5 radius and feels like an old Strat , job done 😀
