Serial \u003cstrong\u003eR009841\u003c\/strong\u003e places it in the Crafted in Japan R-serial period, and this particular guitar has been upgraded with a \u003cstrong\u003eDiMarzio Hot Rails bridge pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eVegaTrem bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a much more aggressive and flexible take on the classic ST72 platform. You still get the familiar Strat feel and switching, but the bridge position has substantially more output and thickness, while the VegaTrem gives the guitar a smoother, more modern tremolo setup than the original vintage-style bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJapanese-Made 70s Strat Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST72 was Fender Japan's take on the early-'70s Stratocaster design, with the large headstock, 21-fret neck and vintage-inspired styling that define the era. These Japanese-built models have developed a strong following because they combine classic Fender aesthetics with consistently solid build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDiMarzio Hot Rails Bridge Pickup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original bridge pickup has been replaced with a \u003cstrong\u003eDiMarzio Hot Rails\u003c\/strong\u003e humbucker-sized-for-single-coil pickup. This gives the bridge position a thicker, hotter response with more output and sustain than a traditional Strat single coil, making it particularly useful for rock, heavier gain sounds and lead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVegaTrem Bridge Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eVegaTrem\u003c\/strong\u003e bridge has also been installed. This is a significant upgrade for players who use the trem regularly, offering a smoother feel and improved modern performance while keeping the familiar Strat-style layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is in \u003cstrong\u003egood condition\u003c\/strong\u003e and shows normal signs of use consistent with a preloved instrument. The DiMarzio Hot Rails bridge pickup and VegaTrem are aftermarket modifications and are part of what makes this particular ST72 stand out from a standard example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Fender Japan ST72 70s Strat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Vintage White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number: R009841\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan \/ Crafted in Japan R-serial era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70s-style oversized headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-fret neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrat-style 5-way pickup switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiMarzio Hot Rails bridge pickup upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegaTrem bridge installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood preloved condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a strong choice for someone who likes the look and feel of a Japanese '70s-style Strat but wants a more powerful bridge sound and a more performance-focused tremolo system. It suits rock, alternative, heavier styles and players who want a classic platform with useful modern upgrades already fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese ST72 models are already cool guitars, but the modifications on this one make it much more than a straight vintage-style reissue. The Hot Rails adds serious punch at the bridge and the VegaTrem gives the tremolo system a much more refined feel, making this a practical player's guitar rather than just a period-correct piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from \u003cstrong\u003eColemans Music South Melbourne\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eFast Shipping Aus Wide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FENDER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50561399980084,"sku":"210000078658","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5386\/3220\/files\/PRELOVED-FENDER-Japan-ST72-1.jpg?v=1791161372","url":"https:\/\/www.colemansmusic.com.au\/products\/preloved-fender-japan-70s-strat","provider":"Colemans Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
