Up for sale, a 1989 Fender Stratocaster model ST72-95DM in excellent condition and in perfect working order. One of the earliest examples of a Yngwie Malmsteen spec'd Stratocaster offered by Fender Japan, the ST72-95DM model is quite rare, seen here in a non-catalog Candy Apple Red finish. This Stratocaster was made during the golden age of Fender Japan production at the Fujigen factory, featuring a scalloped maple fretboard and a pair of DiMarzio HS-3 (DP117) single coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions.
Tonewoods include an ash body and one-piece maple neck, and this ST72-95DM weighs 7lbs 15oz. The pickups comprise a pair of USA-made DiMarzio HS-3 (DP117) stacked single coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions, with Fender Japan's ST-Current single coil sandwiched in-between. The Dimarzio DP117s offers hum-free performance with a broad low end that's warm and tight with a smooth, glassy treble response. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because the sound won’t get muddy or messy, and the DP117 boasts a staggered pole piece design. This ST72-95DM has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss custom color Candy Apple Red finish has some minor dings along the body perimeter, light buckle scuffing on the back, and a few faint pick scuffs on the top. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for one tiny nick behind fret 5, virtually undetectable to the palm while fretting.
A Fender gigbag is included.
