Comes with Whammy-bar,I just found it. The japanese E-series guitars are very interesting because of the following reasons:The japanese E-series[around 1985] was the last Strat-Series which used the old original US specifications and quite often US parts for the guitars, which absence made way for a decline in quality which can be found with the later models. This beautiful candy apple red  guitar with the Seriel-No E609038 was made at a time were there was no US Fender production of guitars at all and all guitars were built in Japan with US and Japanese Parts.The guitar is equipped with the original Fender Kahler trem.  The pickups have a very clear and noiseless tone full of definition and dont display the overwound muddyness of many of the later productions.The neck is straight and the jumbo-frets are very good with hardly any  playing marks. A few dings and a few laquercracks at the side of the guitar which cannot be seen from the front,otherwise  good for its age. Comes with Hardcase This old jap.Fenders are often better than the us counterparts and are becoming better and better value for the money. Overseas buyers please e-mail for shipping quote.
