Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72-500 in perfect working order. Produced at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of “Made in Japan” production, this Strat was marketed exclusively to the Japanese domestic market and is uncommon outside its country of origin.

The trio of ST-Current alnico magnet single coils deliver distinct tonalities at each position on the five-way pickup selector switch, from bridge pickup spank and sparkle to warmth and percussive cut in the neck position. This Stratocaster ST72-500 weighs 7lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
