Fender Japan '72 Stratocaster ST72-58 Surf Green 2004
Fender '72 Strat, surf green, crafted in Japan 2004-5. Surf green, what a dream! This is one cool looking Strat: summery colour, cream guard, super dark rosewood slab fretboard, big bold black CBS-era logos and cute little white button tuners add up to a very stylish creature indeed. It's had some fun mods too: upgraded pickups, CTS pots and fancy caps, a nice bone nut... sensible stuff, and all handy little life upgrades. The tone on offer is extra Strat-tastic: bright, bouncy and brilliant, with a glassy top end, understated smooth mids and a weighty, plonky bass. It's super fun for funky staccato stuff or SRV style lead lines. The neck is a comfy slim round shape, and at 3.4kg it's pretty light, so you're never working too hard. It's fun to be alive with this one in your hands.
