The Premium series offers the assurance of being Made In Japan, manufactured by the esteemed guitar factory Fujigen.
Currently discontinued, this model is rarely found in the used market. The one being offered here is in remarkable condition, exhibiting minimal signs of use, making it a rare find.
Equipped with G&L's proprietary MFD (Magnetic Field Design) Single Coil Pickups, which inherit the structure of Fender pickups with magnetic pole pieces and enhance magnetic force with bar-shaped magnets embedded in the base. This design outputs rich high-frequency components with robustness and excellent balance.
Unlike traditional Stratocasters, the controls include a treble control (high-cut) and a bass control (low-cut), enabling finer tonal adjustments.
Additionally, the added toggle switch allows for pickup mode switching, enabling pickup selections not possible with traditional Strats, delivering thick and powerful sounds comparable to models equipped with humbuckers.
