Fender Made in Japan Takashi Kato Stratocaster Paradise Blue Electric Guitar New
Description
A signature model filled with Takashi Kato's commitment!
Since their debut, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is Japan's leading ska band, having performed in 31 countries around the world without limiting themselves to Japan, and participating in many of the world's largest music festivals such as Coachella.
This signature model was developed under the supervision of guitarist Takashi Kato in pursuit of a vintage style, based on the 1965 Stratocaster commonly known as "Driftwood", which he has mainly used for many years.
The ``Paradise Blue'' that covers the body is an original color that reproduces the unique color tone of Lake Placid Blue, which has deepened over time while increasing its metallic appearance.
The top coat nitrocellulose lacquer is kept to a minimum, allowing you to enjoy the vintage sound and look faster.
The neck profiled from his actual machine has a round rose fingerboard with a 7.25 inch radius, approximately 41 mm nut width, and a thin 1965 “C” shape, faithfully reproducing the vintage grip feeling and smooth with narrow tall frets. It achieves excellent playability.
■Accessories: Gig case

from 19 reviewsVery quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.
Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!
I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
