2006/8 Fender Japan ST-72 US Stratocaster in 3 Tone Sunburst & new hard case




£679.00




JAPAN IMPORT

This 2006/8 Fender Japan Stratocaster is a nice reissue of a 1970's Strat but with the bonus of having a set of Fender USA pickups factory fitted from new.  With it's one piece Maple neck, skunk stripe and 7.25" radius fretboard this is, as usual an excellent reissue Stratocaster. This one has an authentic 3 ply 11 hole pickguard as well as a 3 hole neck plate with micro-tilt adjustment

This guitar was made in 2006/8 and is in very good condition. I've had a good look over it and the only notable marks are some scratching to the scratchplate and pickup covers and a couple of small dents along the top edge and on the top which have been repaired (see gallery pics) The tremolo arm was also missing and has been replaced.  When I gave it a quick set up, the intonation was spot on and the action was very good.

Please also check out the awesome demo video at the foot of the page. Recorded by session guitarist & friend Rob Burrows, it gives a quick taster of how this guitar can sound
Rob can be contacted via his website for online personal tuition at all levels


Hard Case

As said many times, all my guitars come shipped in a new black hard case which is included in the price. I find this is the safest way to avoid damage in transit. This case can be upgraded to a very nice tweed one but these are an additional £12 each at present.Please contact me before purchasing if you would like this. Alternatively, if you are collecting the guitar and, like some buyers have cases coming out of their ears, that's no problem, I'll adjust the price (usually around a £30 discount) and I can usually find you an old gigbag to take the guitar away in. The only hard and fast rule I have is that i won't ship a guitar in a gigbag
