Very cool and ultra classic, this ST 72 in a natural finish has all the MOJO any player could crave. This grunge era , killer sounding guitar features a dank and stank attitude that will have you standing on the verge of getting it on. The totally awesome vibe of this piece is a real treat that takes you back to the days when funk bands rocked and rock bands were funky. Carefully crafted to true vintage specs, it has a premium ash body, large headstock, bullet truss rod and neck with a clean U profile that is just right. The monochromatic color scheme of the natural body with the sweet maple fingerboard is actually a perfect pairing when you add the shiny chrome hardware. It does the trick to making this tone monster a visual bite for any player looking for some eye candy to rock. She sets up like a dream and really is a fantastic player, easy action, lots of bark and woof, and super detailed tones are all in fruitful abundance. Plugged in to the Deluxe Reverb this axe sings with all the authority we anticipated. Cosmetically, this baby is in excellent condition for its age and hs clearly been extremely bwell taken care of. There are a few very small dings and ultra light surface scratches. There is some wear on the fretboard on the first few frets from being played for decades. This only adds charm and vintage mojo to this lovely tone monster. Overall its super clean aand worthy of any collection. The fretboard is smooth with frets that have been dressed/leveled/polished, and all the hardware and electronic components are in perfect, fully functional shape. This is a great piece that exemplifies all the great traits MIJ Fender guitars are duly noted for. A true stage warrior, this funky beast will keep your rails greased and the mothership connection headed straight for electric ladyland.

Like what you see? Let us go to work for you. We offer the best and most fairly priced consignment service on the planet! Look for us online: @TheGuitarDude


Our Guarantee

We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.


Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.

- Intonation is spot-on.

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.


Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy

We offer a 7-day return policy. However:

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.


We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.


We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.


Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.


We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.


Payment, Shipping & International Duties

- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.


International Shipping Note

International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.


Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
