The body of this '72 Stratocaster Reissue is made of basswood, offering a lightweight and easy-to-handle feel. The neck features a bolt-on maple construction, and the rosewood fingerboard combined with a vintage-style 7.25-inch radius recreates the authentic playing feel of a Stratocaster from that era. It features a 25.5-inch long scale and is equipped with a synchronised tremolo system. While faithfully reproducing the overall design of a '70s Stratocaster - including the large headstock and three-point neck joint - it is characterised by the stable craftsmanship typical of Japanese-made instruments.
All pickups have been replaced: the front features a black bobbin with lead wire, the middle features a two-core grey vinyl wire, and the bridge features a black-and-white vinyl wire pickup. The manufacturer and model numbers for all of these are unknown.
The control system uses ECM pots and the capacitors are vintage-style Circle D-marked units. Additionally, conductive paint has been applied inside the cavity for noise reduction.
