Fender has introduced the new Rarities Flame Ash Top Stratocaster, part of the company’s Rarities Collection, which combines exotic tonewoods with premium pickups and appointments.
The new model boasts a two-piece alder body with a flame ash top in a Plasma Red Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish. There’s also a "60s C”-shaped birds-eye maple neck and fretboard.
Pickups are a trio of Custom Shop '54 Strat single coils, with master volume, two tone controls and a five-way blade switch. Other features include a Pure Vintage 6-Saddle Synchronized Tremolo, Pure Vintage Single Line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, narrow tall frets and a three-ply black/white/black pickguard. The guitar comes in a brown hardshell case.
The new guitar follows the release of the Rarities Flame Maple Top Stratocaster in April and the Red Mahogany Top Telecaster in May.
The limited-edition Rarities Flame Ash Top Stratocaster is available now for $2,499.99.
