1987 Fender Contemporary Stratocaster Olympic White

Summary: The Fender Contemporary models were top of the line “superstrat” type guitars and were the first Fender Japan models to be exported as Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, not Squires. The Fender Contemporary models were manufactured from 1984 to 1987 by FujiGen Gakki. Many of Fender Contemporary Stratocaster and Telecaster models had Fender Japan E serial number prefix at the beginning of their serial numbers but in fact, Fender never produced a line of guitars named the "E series".
