Fender Made in Japan Ken Stratocaster Experiment L'Arc-en-Ciel

This is the “Ken Stratocaster Experiment #1”, a Japanese-made signature model for L'Arc-en-Ciel guitarist Ken.

With an original white body, matching headstock and gold hardware, its design is inspired by “Kintsugi-repaired Japanese pottery”.
It has a distinctive rigid body featuring a thick neck and an intentionally omitted back contour based on the profile of his own instrument.

There is slight color transfer at the body end, and some scuff marks on the pickguard and back panel.

There is almost no fret wear, and both the neck and the truss rod are in good condition.

A sticker replicating the graffiti art from his personal instrument is affixed to the guitar.
