Fender '72 Strat, yellow white, crafted in Japan 2004-5. Creamy custard white, maple board, big headstock, bold black logos... heck, what a combo. This has an agreeable rounded neck and handy lightweight body, it feels great in the hands. The pickups deliver a snappy, immediate take on the Strat-spank: there's heaps of definition and punch, perfect for funk or reggae stuff but versatile enough to cover plenty of ground. There's a lot to enjoy here, and dang, it looks so good.
