[SN JD25016826] USED Fender / Takashi Kato Stratocaster Paradise Blue [12]
The Takashi Kato Signature Model from Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is now in stock!
Based on the 1965 Stratocasterâcommonly known as âDriftwoodââthat he has used as his main guitar for many years, this signature model was developed under his supervision to capture a vintage style.
It features the meticulously crafted original color âParadise Blue,â which reproduces the unique hue of Lake Placid Blueâdeepened by the patina of ageâwhile enhancing its metallic sheen, allowing you to enjoy a vintage-like tone and look sooner.
The neck, profiled from the artistâs actual guitar, features a 7.25-inch radius round rosewood fingerboard, a nut width of approximately 41mm, and a slim 1965 âCâ shape. It faithfully reproduces the vintage feel while delivering smooth playability thanks to its Narrow Tall frets.
The pickups feature Custom Wired Vintage Style Single Coils developed specifically for this model.
Thanks to a special wiring technique, these machine-wound pickups successfully produce the rich harmonics and edge typical of hand-wound pickups.
Furthermore, to balance light rhythm guitar tones with a thick lead tone, the neck and middle pickups are based on mid-â60s specifications, while the bridge pickup is based on specifications from the â50s through the early â60s.
There are general scuffs, a few small scratches on the body, and slight tarnish on the metal parts.
More than 70% of the frets remain, the neck is in good condition, and the truss rod is adjustable.
