🔥 Psychedelic '87 Time Machine: Rare Fender Japan ST72-BFL Blue Floral Paisley Strat – Pure Vintage Mojo! 🔥
Turn heads, melt faces, and channel pure '60s/'70s rock royalty with this gorgeous circa 1987 E-Serial Fender Japan ST72-BFL Stratocaster in the ultra-rare Blue Floral Paisley finish!
This limited-edition domestic-market gem (think Fujigen golden era at its absolute peak) isn’t just a guitar — it’s a swirling, hypnotic work of art. The deep, vibrant blue base explodes with intricate floral-paisley patterns that dance across the body, sides, and matching 2-ply Blue Flower pickguard. Under the clear coat it practically glows under stage lights — bold, trippy, and 100% one-of-a-kind. No two are exactly alike, and this one is a showstopper.
Specs that scream playability & tone!
- Lightweight body (basswood/sen construction typical of these premium MIJ runs)
- Bolt-on maple neck with skunk stripe, oval 70s profile, bullet truss rod
- Maple fingerboard — 7.25" vintage radius, 21 vintage-style frets, black dot inlays
- Classic SSS single-coil pickups (that signature bright, quacky, bell-like Strat voice with incredible clarity and snap)
- 5-way switch, 1 Vol / 2 Tone controls
- Synchronized die-cast tremolo with US-style saddles
- Gotoh sealed tuners, 3-bolt neck plate with micro-tilt, nickel/chrome hardware
The maple neck + maple board combo delivers crisp attack, singing highs, and lightning-fast response — perfect for everything from sparkling cleans and chiming chords to searing leads and creamy overdrive.
Condition: Excellent for a 39-year-old rockstar
Only two small, stable finish cracks on the back (normal aging for these finishes — nothing structural, no cracks on the front or neck). No major dings, no buckle rash, frets have plenty of life left, neck is straight as an arrow. Everything original and functioning perfectly.
Professionally set up and dialed in RIGHT NOW by a master tech for optimal tone and playability: buttery-low action, flawless intonation, zero fret buzz, perfect truss-rod tension, and that magical “just right” feel that makes you never want to put it down. Plugged in, it sings with vintage Strat sparkle and sustain for days.
Whether you’re a serious MIJ collector hunting the holy grail or a tone-chasing player who wants a genuine piece of Fender Japan history that actually plays and sounds better than most modern guitars — this is the one.
Blue Floral Paisley power — don’t sleep on this one. 🎸✨ She will be gone before you know it!
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 15% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
