1990 Fender Order Made '72 Stratocaster ST72-86DSC Sonic Blue Yngwie-Spec w/ Scalloped Board & DiMarzio, Japan MIJ Fujigen

Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Order Made Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72-86DSC in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Finished in a non-catalog custom color Sonic Blue, this rare “Made in Japan” Strat was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, essentially a progenitor of the Yngwie Malmsteen signature model, featuring a scalloped fretboard, large headstock with bullet truss rod, and USA-made DiMarzio pickups.

The guitar features a pair of USA-made DiMarzio HS-3 (DP117) stacked single coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions, with an alnico magnet Fender Japan ST-Current single coil in the middle position. The Dimarzio DP117s offers hum-free performance with a broad low end that's warm and tight with a smooth, glassy treble response. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because the sound won’t get muddy or messy, and the DP117 boasts a staggered pole piece design. This ST72-86DSC Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
