Fender Japan Urushi Stratocaster.

Fender has celebrated the first anniversary of its flagship Tokyo store by releasing an unprecedented special edition Stratocaster – and it’s unlike any Strat you’ve come across before.

Last July, the Big F opened its four-floor Tokyo store – a huge emporium of electric guitars, acoustic guitars and bass guitars, with spaces dedicated for artist models, lifestyle goods, and a “Dream Factory” Custom Shop department.
