Not just another high-end model, but a guitar that takes your playing to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The ST72-145RB Ritchie Blackmore Model. Featuring Ritchie’s iconic large headstock and a scalloped fingerboard that deepens gradually. Experience air-grabbing bends and vacuum-like vibrato control—sensations you’ll never find on a standard Strat. Furthermore, the Seymour Duncan SSL-4 (front\/rear) pickup configuration produces a mellow, high-quality midrange that also possesses the thickness of a P-90.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The gradual scalloping is a musical design that maintains playability near the low frets while increasing expressiveness as you move toward the high frets. The SSL-4’s rich midrange remains stable even when distorted, with thick, forward-projecting single notes. This guitar isn’t just for chasing Ritchie’s tone—it’s also a perfect match for slow blues and emotionally driven playing. It creates such a high level of immersion that it’s said “90% of players who try it won’t want to switch back.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Are you looking for a guitar that makes your fast playing sound even cleaner? A guitar where vibrato and bending come naturally? A guitar with an exhilarating feel you can’t get from a standard Strat? Or a guitar that builds on Richie’s signature sound while offering the versatility to excel in blues? If any of these apply to you, the ST72-145RB is definitely the guitar for you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This isn’t just another Richie model. It’s an “expressive guitar” that translates your nuances directly into sound the moment you play it. If you’re ready to move beyond a standard Strat, there’s no reason to hesitate. To ensure you won’t regret it, please come and experience this feel for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 【SPEC】\u003cbr\u003eBODY: Alder\u003cbr\u003eNECK: Maple\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003ePickup: Seymour Duncan SSL-4\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT: 3.6 kg\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 42mm\u003cbr\u003eIncludes soft case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e *Thoroughly set up in-store with a 5-year adjustment warranty\u003cbr\u003e*Please feel free to contact our staff for more details about this product. \u003cbr\u003e*We offer high-value buyback prices for items purchased at our store.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-UVDsM5BSKc?si=65B3XPbOsv5WIj1Q\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49928382054637,"sku":"26944","price":198000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/1995-96-st72-145rb-144556.jpg?v=1755495699","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/1995-1996-fender-japan-st72-145rb","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
