🔍 Key Details:
✅ Body: Original cream finish with black pickguard (matches black headstock)
✅ Neck: Maple neck with rosewood fretboard (fast '62-style profile)
✅ Pickups: Original HSS setup (humbucker bridge + single-coils)
✅ Hardware: Original 6-screw tremolo with "F"-shaped bent steel saddles (3 left, 3 right — low E saddle missing)
✅ Headstock: "Stratocaster ®" + "Made in Japan" decal (black finish)
✅ Factory: Dyna Gakki (stamped "C756" under neck — same as early Ibanez)
⚠️ Condition Notes:
- Missing: Low E saddle, tremolo arm, and case.
- Quarter-sized chip on top/side edge (wood visible, no cracks).
- Hairline paint crack (stable, no structural issues).
- Frets: 80% life (minor wear, no buzzing).
- Electronics: 100% original from what I can tell (no mods, all pots smooth).
🎶 Why It’s Special:
- Dyna Gakki build (rare factory with Ibanez pedigree).
- Though heel-stamped '655,' this guitar matches ST-62-95 specs (rosewood board, HSS, Dyna Gakki build)—a rare transitional model.
- Dyna Gakki often mixed specs for Japanese markets, making this a unique find.
- HSS in a vintage-style body (uncommon for '80s MIJ).
- "F"-shaped saddles = classic '62 vibrato tone.
- Black headstock + rosewood = sleek, timeless look.
