The showcased 1986 Fender Stratocaster ’72 Vintage Reissue ST72-55 in captivating Candy Apple Red from Japan's esteemed MIJ line is a true gem. These 80s Japanese Fenders are sought after for their rarity and craftsmanship. This particular guitar is in good condition and performs flawlessly.

While it does bear some scratches, dings, and finish checking at the neck joint, these signs of wear are consistent with its age. On the whole, I would assign it a commendable 7.5 out of 10 rating for its overall condition.

Every component on the guitar is original, attesting to its authentic character. There are no structural issues, cracks, or repairs to be noted. The neck is straight and ensures a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience. The original frets remain in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear, which means you can expect a clean, buzz-free performance.

The original gigbag provides secure storage and convenient transportation for this special instrument. It, too, is in very good condition, a testament to the care taken to preserve this vintage piece.
