Pickup currently not available
A 1986 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72-500 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, this early “Made in Japan” Strat has an F-prefix serial, featuring a sleek look with a gloss Black finish and black plastics. This Stratocaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.
The ST-Current single coils, equipped with alnico magnets, provide authentic Strat sound across all positions of the five-way selector switch: the neck pickup offers warm, bell-like tones, the bridge delivers bright, twangy clarity, and the intermediate settings produce a characteristic hollow quack.
Condition: Some very minor scratches, only noticeable when looking up close. Barely noticeable grooving on the back from rubbing up against belt.
Playability: Straight neck, no buzzing, very little fret wear, action is comfortable, no issues with electronics
