The ST-700 are top strato copies.
The Shaller tuners of those years report the "Made in W. Germany" label ! and are the best tuning machine ever.
The woods quality and natural finish are just outstanding.
The fretboard is made from a wonderful piece of Jacaranda and the inlays are pearloid, rare features for any strat.
Their unique attention to details and highly priced components make this model surclass any stratocaster (including originals!) out there.
Due to the two-pieces body, this particular guitar could be also a rare ST-800JN
