Fender Japan ST-45

[lppier]

Hi, curious about this strat. I know the body is bassword, but that probably makes it somewhat lighter, right? How is the build quality, construction wise? Don't really have time to go check it out so tot I would ask around here first.
Also, is there any difference at all between the ST-43 and ST-45?

i think the ST-45 is the same as the ST-43, it's just the newer version. the updated model number could possibly be to reflect that it is now produced in the new J-Craft factory (since 2006).

Ok so any ST-43 users like to comment on the build construction of this strat?
