Profile Silhouette MIJ Strat – Japan 1980s

This is one of the best Strat copies you will ever see. Profile guitars were imported from Japan by Australia’s Dynamic Musical Instruments in the 1980s. They were curated to a fine degree by Dynamic and the results were impressive. A bit like Japanese made Fenders being sometimes superior to USA made equivalents during the late 1970s – 1980s.

This one is a Profile Silhouette which is based on 57 Strat specs – ash body, maple neck & fingerboard, single ply pickguard, small headstock etc

This one has had its pickguard replaced but the original is in the case. And its 3 way switch has been replaced with a 5 way.

Apart from those there appears to be no other changes.

It presents in fine condition. The medium C profile neck is straight with some wear on the lower frets but lots of life left. Machine heads are solid and the guitar holds tune and intonation without any issues. The body is clean with only a few marks here & there. Metal parts in good condition. Plays easily & sounds great.

Profile guitars are generally accepted to be of the same or better quality as the best Japanese brands including Tokai, Fernandes, Greco etc. This one certainly punches above its weight.
