Fender Japan ST72-55 (CST-50M) w/ Monty's Guitars '69 Stratocaster Pickups Set

Our unique Fender Japan Stratocaster "ST72-55 (CST-50M) BLK" has arrived in stock, with a significantly improved pickup grade!It weighs 3.71kg.

This is a Strato marked with the M serial "MADE IN JAPAN" and is made from 1992 to 1993.Because it is built into Fujigen, it achieves modern performance performance that can be adapted to a variety of styles, while still maintaining stable quality and high cost performance.

The ST72-55 is a model that recreates the Stratocasters of the 1970s, with a large head, three-point fastening bolt-on joint, and a bullet-type truss rod nut.The neck pocket has the label "CST-50M".

This is a classic wood material with an ash body, maple neck, and a 21F maple fingerboard, and the controls are simple, with a 5-way selector and 1VOL/2TONE.The tone does not work on the rear.

Our store has replaced the pickups with the original pickups into the "Monty's Guitars '69 Stratocaster Pickups Set."The selectors, pots and capacitors have also been upgraded!
(Please note that original pickups are not included.)

"Monty's Guitars" is a high-end pickup brand from London, UK.Founder Matt Gleeson thoroughly analyzes vintage pickups and reconstructs them for modern players, and brings out the best performances across genres.

The '69 Stratocaster' set is a model that faithfully reproduces the Stratocaster pickups from the late 1960s.Based on the pickup of a vintage 1969 Stratocaster, which is considered particularly valuable, we have made it as close to the original as possible.The sound that comes from it is a superb tone.

Montees understood that fender products from 1965 and later were not always highly praised, and saw that the unique sounds unique to this era have a unique charm.
The most distinctive features are the high range, which is as clear as glass and the modest midrange.This allows for both a clean tone with a edgy, aggressive drive.Think of Jimi Hendrix's sound.That's the world of this pickup.

After Fender was acquired by CBS in 1965, the pickup has received several cost savings.These include using thin magnets that do not have bevels (chamfering corners), and designing to reduce the number of turns and make the coil thinner.These specifications provided a pure, delicate high-frequency shine.Montees' '69' set faithfully reproduces this specification.

And like the original, this pickup also uses lacquer potting.Rather than a regular wax dip, the coil is sealed with a very thin layer of lacquer.This makes the coil mostly wax-free, achieving surprisingly dynamic and responsive properties.

Take this opportunity to try out our valuable, upgraded Fender Japan, which is equipped with practically designed single coil pickups that can be used on-site.
