Vintage MIJ Feel, Real-Deal USA Tone

This isn’t just another Strat—it’s a killer piece from the golden era of Fender Japan. Built in 1998, this STB-67 reissue nails the vibe of a late-60s workhorse, from its resonant Alder body to the classic Maple neck. The natural finish lets the wood grain breathe and sing, giving it an open, airy resonance you can feel in your hands. It’s got that perfectly worn-in feel that only comes from a couple of decades of honest play.

But the real magic here is the engine under the hood. This Strat is loaded with a set of genuine ST-Vintage USA-made pickups, delivering the authentic chime, quack, and glassy attack that define the Stratocaster sound. Paired with the Alder body, you get a sound that’s rich, articulate, and dynamically responsive—it cleans up beautifully with a light touch and snarls when you dig in.

Built for the Player

The neck is a comfortable “Oval Type” profile that feels substantial yet fast, topped with a vintage-correct 7.25″ radius Maple fingerboard that’s a dream for chording. Weighing in at a comfortable 7.2lbs, it’s light enough for hours-long gigs without sacrificing an ounce of sustain. This guitar is in good condition for its age and comes complete with a hardshell case to keep it safe on the road.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Fender’s Japanese-made guitars from the 90s are legendary for their incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail, often rivaling their American counterparts. This STB-67 model is a perfect example of that quality, offering a precise build and vintage accuracy that’s hard to beat.
The 7.25″ radius is a true vintage spec. It has a more pronounced curve than modern Fenders, which many players find incredibly comfortable for playing chords and rhythm. It just feels ‘right’ for classic blues and rock.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
