The frets

The frets are shiny and smooth and the neck is straight with a fully adjustable truss rod

With a full gold hardware loadout including vintage-style tuners and an upgraded bridge

Frets have plenty of life and play shiny and smooth

and the drive and volume knobs let you adjust the sound from mild to ear-splitting

the ST57-58US was a premium model '57 reissue by Fender Japan

so that's a decent testament to their quality

A true pointy shredder from the 80's

brass saddles and Gotoh made "Vintage Style" machine heads

the truss works as it should and the neck is straight with an adjustable truss

frets are polished and play great

Deeptone Music gave it a full setup and service prior to listing and its playing great

The tone knob isn't currently functioning as a tone knob but still has the coil split switch that works perfectly
