NGD 1988 Fujigen Fender Strat

[Kac]

Matches the 2019 Vintera P-bass
All original electronics, in amazing condition for the age! Feels great, plays great, sounds great.
First red strat I’ve owned since my very first electric guitar.

Very cool! What is the official name of that red?

Nice score!

That's really nice. The Fender Japan stuff is amazing, especially the older stuff.

MUCH win!!!!

Only thing I’ve found for 80’s fujigen strats is Candy Apple Red... this looks like it might be a brighter red than that though, so not sure.

It is a 50’s reissue type strat, that has had the pickguard changed.

Looks like Dakota Red or Fiesta Red.

I think Dakota Red might be darker, but it could be Fiesta Red.

Fiesta is pretty variable but usually a bit more orange I think. Here's a 1990 Strat in Frost Red; might be that? Or just a bright instance of Dakota - doesn't really look terribly different from the P-bass behind it.

Wow, that's a great red, too!

I've always likened Fiesta Red to "Campbell's Tomato Soup" red.

That's probably Dakota Red there.

Great find.
