1996 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 Vintage Reissue ST72 Black, Non-Catalog w/ USA Texas Specials, Ash Body & Case, Japan MIJ

1996 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 Vintage Reissue ST72 Black, Non-Catalog w/ USA Texas Specials, Ash Body & Case, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced at the Fujigen factory and uncommon outside of its country of origin, this rare “Made in Japan” Stratocaster features an ash body and factory-installed (and early) trio of Fender USA Texas Special single coil pickups.

Weighing 7lbs 10oz, this Stratocaster features an ash body and a one-piece maple neck. The Texas Special single coils match vintage spec with black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads and staggered/unbeveled alnico magnets, delivering a bevy of sparkling classic Strat tonalities with a slightly aggressive overwound snap. The bridge pickup delivers plenty of heat and spank and the neck has a full, bell-like quality. This Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Neck Specs:

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .935” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius
-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone
-Tuners: “F”-stamped
-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” N-prefix

Body Specs:

-Wood: Ash
-Pickups: Fender Texas Special single coil x3
-Controls: Volume, Tone x2 (second knob wired for Middle and Bridge), Five-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup
-Plastics: Three-ply pickguard, gently aged white knobs/pickup covers

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish is limited to faint buckle worming central to the back and just a handful of minor dings, primarily concentrated at the lower bout. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

A Fender molded hardshell case is included.
