1985 Fender Japan Stratocaster Candy Apple Red Rare Vintage Electric Guitar

Description: 1985 Fender Japan Stratocaster Electric Guitar Made in Japan Includes: Guitar, Strap/locks & Fender molded case I purchased this guitar used from a local music store in Honolulu. I do believe this is all original (please see photos and let me know what you think) except for the strap buttons which have been upgraded to strap locks. There was a locking nut installed at one point but was removed by a previous owner. They also installed a brass nut. This guitar has original sealed tuners and are in good shape but show signs of rust and corrosion on the screws. The tremolo bar is missing. There are signs of heavy use on the body and some nicks on the neck but doesn’t effect playability. The frets have plenty of life left they appear to be upgraded to a thicker or wider fret size. There are a few rusted pickguard screws.The input jack ground lug pushes up against the inside of the body cavity of the guitar which makes it stiff to plug in but works fine. If rotated a quarter of a turn it would be fixed. I just don't have the tools.All electronics check out. The case is a mid 80’s Fender molded case. All feet and hardware are intact and working but the case hinges might not be working, which is why the is duct tape is on them. The case has seen better days but very functional.
