Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72-500 in near-mint, 100% original condition and 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.

Tonewoods include an ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this ST72-500 weighs 8lbs, delivering clear note attack, sweet sustain and a detailed midrange character. The trio of ST-Current alnico magnet single coils offer classic Strat tonalities at each position on the five-way pickup selector switch. The neck pickup has a bell-like chime and warmth, with thinned-out squawk in positions 2 and 4, and the bridge yields a gutsy spank. This ST72-500 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
